Getting into the NHS should not feel like guesswork.

Many international doctors have strong clinical experience but are unsure how to present it clearly, prepare for interviews, or understand first-job expectations in UK practice.

Unclear process

Different rules, unclear steps and changing guidance can make applications feel overwhelming.

The NHS is unique

Which resource should I start with?

Are these resources only for doctors applying for their first NHS role?

They are mainly designed for international doctors preparing for first NHS roles, trust-grade posts, clinical fellow jobs, SHO-level roles or FY2-equivalent roles. Some resources, such as communication templates, may also help doctors already working in the NHS.

Does this guarantee an NHS job?

No. ViAD Medicine resources support preparation but do not guarantee employment, interviews, GMC registration, visa approval or clinical competence.
