The most common myth in an NHS Hospital is that they want to see you restored to full health before walking cheerfully out of the door.
SHO jobs particularly in surgical fields like orthopaedics are the worst- continuous bleeps during calls, not allowing to concentrate on the work.if it is a large hospital-you had it-you have to run from one ward to another in every corner of the hospital,making on calls a nightmare.And the worst part it -you learn nothing in your surgical field after all the hard work as an SHO.

Hi doc! After getting gmc registered post clearing plab do we get an orientation of NHS? Do they let us get aware of the work system , different levels etc or we have to figure everything ourselves?? Please answer doc!
GMC organises a welcome to the UK practice workshop. Hospitals organise inductions and rest you learn on the job.
Great discussion Suman
Sir, I am paediatrician in India
And want to move to UK after completing MRCPch
Is it worth to move or better to stay in India??
Becoz in India, so many issues as working a doctor. Might be you also know about these issues.
But i dont want to live in UK for whole life
I want to work just for 4,5 years and then planning to move UAE
It's not an easy decision to make and I have shared my experience and rationale through these videos. It's for you to decide if moving to the UK is right for you based on the information.
Hello! First of all i like your videos thank you so much for making them . I am an 1st year mbbs student and i am looking forward to work and study in uk after my internship. So is there any chance that after 4 to 5 years the rules and selection process will be changed for IMG's or more IMGs migrating to uk or something like that?
IMG numbers have increased significantly over last 2yrs. Also the UK graduate numbers will go up within next few years as they have increased their seats massively. Only time will tell what happens
I've heard that during training as a junior doctor in UK, you have to move house every year as you get assigned a different hospital every year. Is it true. Can you make a video on how a doctor with a family manages to move houses so quickly? What affect does that have on their health and personal life?
We rotate in different hospitals every 6-12 months- that's correct. However I never changed my house throughout the duration of training. I doubt anyone moves their house with every rotation.
@@SumanPaulDoc which city did you live in when you were in training?

Video ta khub bhalo laglo dada. Thank you so much
Thank you sir for such a great explanation 😌
Is it possible to complete your pg training in uk and then move to the middle east as they pay much higher?
And would u recommend it?
It's possible to move to the Middle East and quite common.
Nice video doc. We're moving to Australia in a month, my wife is a specialist physician from India and we were lucky to receive an opportunity where the hospital was willing to sponsor an offshore candidate.
Why are you not moving to Australia? Many Indian doctors move to Australia (or UAE) after coming to the UK.
I might consider moving after CCT, which is less than 2years away.
@@SumanPaulDoc it takes 1 year from the time you start preparing paper work and getting the assessment by the respective medical college in Australia. You may want to start the process while you're in the final year of getting your CCT ie if you plan to move to Australia
How Australia is better than UK?
In terms of what?
Hello... I am an Intervention Neurologist practicing in India... Can you please share your email so i can contact you regarding possibilities at Australia... Thanks
@@RAMTA_SLAYER higher pay alot also better conditions
Can a indian doctor open her own clinic in London or uk in general? Have you seen any?
Usually they have clinics in private hospitals.
Would you say the best/ most realistic reason to relocate to uk would be work life balance?(basically to have a life outside of medicine)
ofc its a subjective question. but is it less stressful / polititcs and more peaceful than india??
Yes, that's definitely a plus point.work place politics in general is not an issue unless you want to become medical director or CEO
@@SumanPaulDoc ok thanks but did not totally get you? you are talking about uk or india ie workplace politics is not a headache where?
ceo/ medical director in nhs?( is this a role some )
@@parkinsoncircus9323 it's about UK and NHS. All hospitals have medical director, CEO etc in UK

Sir will it be worth to become a physiatrist(physical and Medicibe rehabilitation) in the UK?
It's called sports and exercise medicine. It's a medical specialty after MRCP
Thankyou sir for a wonderful video..1 doubt sir.. i personally don't like doing research.. is it really necessary to do research stuffs for a good placement in a hospital in UK.. like in india there is no need of research for postgraduation.. please do reply
Research is not mandatory for good jobs. However if someone applies for the same job with some publications, then they will be given preferances.Unless you are looking for surgery career then research is not really needed.
Hi sir
How is the quality of training in the uk
What is your opinion in regard us vs uk
If someone wats to be ophthalmologist, will uk or us be his good choice
Also how is the lifestyle
Quality of training and lifestyle is variable depending on specialty. I don't have any idea about US training. I don't think any IMG have realistic chance to become an ophthalmologist in the UK or US so choice does not matter.
Sir. After md medicine in india, in a good govt medical college, is it worth coming to uk to do speciality in endocrinology??
It depends on your long term goal and personal circumstances
how career Goes if homeopathy students after MD Choose physician associate in UK.. Will get opportunities after course
Physician associates have good job prospects in the NHS.Not sure how having homeopathic degree will impact that
Sir,are we eligible for locum consultant in pulmonology job in UK after finishing MD from India and clearing MRCP?
Yes you are eligible but I doubt any hospital will offer you a job without UK experience
Sir I md anaesthesiology (2022 jun passed out) trying for Mti’s currently working as a free lancer at my town.
I must join medical college or teaching hospital before applying for interviews or what sir ?
How many months of experience as such is needed?
You should join any govt/private hospital/nursing home so that they can provide you with a reference letter. You need 12 months experience before applying for GMC/MTI.
@@SumanPaulDoc thank you doctor
@@prashanthchittireddy4944 why aren't you applying for EDAIC?
And how to get MTI after MD Anaesthesia from India?
@@RAMTA_SLAYER I'm thinking now, have no idea regarding edaic, my final goal is to settle in middle East as my paremts stays at kuwait.
@@prashanthchittireddy4944 ok...do u know how to get into MTI?
Or how to get regional Anaesthesia fellowship in NHS?
I too have completed my MD Anaesthesia and wanna to learn more from UK.

You will need CCT or CESR to become consultant

Hi sir
How ll it be in UK for ENTs
Surgically and personal life
Same as anyone else. ENT dont have different working hours than others
Hi..wonderful video..I have done my DLO and MS in ENT ,with a Fellowship in Neurotology (Audiovestibular medicine)from India .Now ,Giving MRCS ENT exam soon ..After completion can we join short term SHO jobs for 4 to 6 weeks or so..
Moreover,can you provide some light how to join AVM medicine in uk after Mrcs ENT
You can get ENT jobs after MRCS. However AVM is a medical specialty in the UK (post MRCP) and available in very few centres. If you really want specialised short term experience then you can approach the centres directly for short term attachments (unpaid).Best to try this after MRCS and settling down in UK.
@@SumanPaulDoc Thank you very much ..But as audiovestibular is a subspecialty of ENT ..can't we do AVM as CCT with ENT background..Or do we need MRCP/FRCP for it..After completion of MRCS would it be wise for me to go for MRCP again or ..stick to MRCS ..Waiting for your kind reply.regards
Sir i got 86%in class 12 can I eligible for UCAT for MBBS in UK?? I want to do MBBS from UK
Sorry, I dont know about the process to study MBBS in the UK
What if I pass PLAB 2 and also pass MRCP paces exam, would it limit my chances of getting an internal medicine registrar job? What might happen? Pls reply.
It won't limit your chances of getting a job.passing both these exams will only waste your time and money.only one of them will suffice, preferably MRCP.
Hello sir, is UK worth (working wise) for new doctors from India ?? Are nhs issues really a concern or one should not come to UK?
