Living and working in the UK

Our guide looks to answer the questions that we know healthcare professionals ask when thinking about relocating to the UK.

Located off the north-western coast of Europe lies the sovereign country of the United Kingdom (UK) of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The nation, which is home to over 66 million people, is composed of four separate countries - England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland – and offers a unique blend of both history and culture

The country offers an exceptionally high standard of living, political stability, and safety from natural disasters. A land rich in heritage, the UK has it all. Bustling metropolitan cities, stunning rural scenery, and over 7,000 miles of naturally beautiful coastline all combined to make this nation a real draw for healthcare professionals seeking an exciting new life.

Each section of this guide looks to answer the questions that we know healthcare professionals ask, in a way that is easy to understand and simple to share. If you still have unanswered questions about living and working in the UK, please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to help.
