Getting Started Step by Step Step 1 Make sure you have everything in place to start your new career in the UK. In order to work in your full professional capacity, please ensure that you are registered with an appropriate medical body in the UK. All practicing medical doctors in the UK must be registered with the GMC (General  Medical Council) to practice medicine. It is the GMC's purpose to protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public by ensuring proper standards in the practice of medicine. For further information on how to get registered, please consult the following website: www.gmc-uk.org All professional nurses and midwives in the UK need to be registered with the NMC (Nursing & Midwifery Council). It is a legal obligation to fully register with the NMC before employment can be taken up. It is the NMC's duty to verify that you hold a valid diploma of nursing or midwifery and that your experience is equivalent to the British nursing standard. For further information, please consult the following Website: http://www.nmc-uk.org/ For information to get registered EU and EEA nationals
For information to get registered for Overseas Nurse If you are an overseas candidate applying to work in the UK, please also verify whether you will be eligible to apply for a work permit, which the employer will need to apply for, once you have been offered a position.

Please find further information on the following website: www.workingintheuk.gov.uk As a non EU / EEA candidate, you will also need to inquire about your Visa requirements. All overseas candidates need a visa from the British High Commission in their country of residence, before they are entitled to enter the UK.

Simply register with the appropriate medical body and you will soon be ready to work in the Public or Private Health Care Sector. Step 2
