Empower Your NHS Career: Join Our Upcoming Workshops

At British Medical Courses, we recognise that being qualified and GMC-registered is only one part of the journey. Many brilliant doctors—particularly International Medical Graduates (IMGs) and non-training clinicians—still face challenges in securing NHS jobs or maintaining long-term employment within the system.

That’s why we’re introducing a series of practical, career-focused workshops, designed to support you at every critical stage.

1. Career Counselling & Pathway Planning Workshop

Confused about where to start or which NHS role suits your background? This session will guide you through:

  • Identifying career routes in the NHS
  • Understanding specialty vs. non-training roles
  • Crafting a long-term plan tailored to your strengths and interests
 

2. NHS Job Interview Preparation Workshop

With many NHS interviews following structured, competency-based formats, this workshop will help you:

  • Understand what NHS panels are looking for
  • Practise real interview scenarios and feedback
  • Strengthen your communication and clinical reasoning
 

3. Retaining Jobs in the NHS: What Every Doctor Needs to Know Workshop

Securing the job is one thing—thriving in it is another. This session focuses on:

  • Navigating NHS expectations and workplace culture
  • Managing workloads and documentation demands
  • Developing habits that support long-term success and reappointment
 

Why These Workshops Matter

Even with full GMC registration, a significant number of doctors struggle to find or hold NHS jobs. According to the GMC’s 2023 State of Medical Education and Practice Report, over 2,000 IMGs who were licensed to practise in the UK remained unemployed or underemployed due to:

  • Limited understanding of NHS recruitment systems
  • Inexperience with UK-style interviews
  • A lack of structured onboarding and support

“IMGs often face a challenging transition without formal support structures… this impacts their ability to secure roles or feel confident in them.”
