Welcome to UK practice
Our Welcome to UK practice workshops are aimed at doctors new to working in the UK.
The free workshop is designed to help doctors new to the UK, by offering practical guidance about ethical scenarios you may encounter, and the chance to connect virtually with other doctors coming from abroad.
Assessment pilot days
Our assessment pilot days are a great opportunity to get exam practice and experience for applications and appraisals. You’ll also receive £350 for taking part.
We’ll be looking for volunteers to test the assessments that help us check if a doctor is fit to practise soon.
