This guidance is aimed primarily at overseas-qualified medical practitioners from outside of the European Economic Area. NHS organisations can use the guide for information as part of their recruitment and induction material.
The guide aims to make doctors and dentists from outside the UK aware of the opportunities available and to help them understand the immigration processes and requirements. It includes details of sources of further information and where to check for up-to-date details of immigration and other requirements.
