Are you an overseas qualified healthcare professional who already lives in the UK or are currently thinking of moving to the UK? Making this kind of move with your career can be extremely fulfilling and the chance to experience life in another culture is an exciting opportunity to experience a change of pace in life.
We understand that moving to live in a foreign country is challenging on many levels, there’s trying to get used to the British weather (usually overcast and raining), the style of food and the types of attractions and pastimes that are commonly found here.
Also, adjusting to working practices and environments is another element of moving over to the UK that can take time. In UK wards you are likely to encounter patients and colleagues that are from all over the world and speak different levels of English, in some cases you may have a number of colleagues from your native country.
This can help you to relate to your colleagues and talk about any issues you’re facing within the healthcare organisation you work for. Alternatively, this may not be the case and you may feel isolated initially when you begin your career on UK wards. Gradually you will settle in and feel more comfortable but we understand that this can be very tough.

If you’re struggling to settle in, or struggling to find other healthcare professionals in the same position as you are in terms of being new to the UK, then watching YouTube videos can help. No, I don’t mean videos of cats playing the piano or a dog chasing sheep around fields!
