If I choose for the uncoupled option, then do I need to apply for a new job every year to get into subsequent CT levels? I'm asking this because on the NHS job site when I search for a CT 1 job in general medicine, it says that the job is available for a fixed term of 1 year. So do I need to apply 3 times for a core training job to reach the CT-3 level and complete my core medical training? Kindly clarify my doubt.

Thanks for this informative post. I have a question regarding the email contact shown on job advertisements which might be the HR's or the consultant's email address. Do you think whether it's a good idea to approach them before getting an interview? I mean would that increase the chance of getting an interview?

Not necessarily, no. They may say you can contact them if you have any questions about the post itself, but it wouldn't necessarily sway their decision.

Hi Ibreez, do you think it is plausible to secure a job there while on tourist visa? I plan to bring my family along as I feel safer with them staying with me during this time of pandemic. I am a GMC registered doctor (PLAB route) and have 16 years of experience as GP and ED doctor.

Yes but depending on what UKVI has currently mandated, you may need to return home to apply for your work visa and then return to the UK.

Hi Ibreez kindly do tell how the situation is currently for IMGs to land a job in the NHS next year due to a long list of applicants waiting from the past year. Would we have to wait for months on a stretch after getting Gmc registration. Thanks in advance 😊

Many IMGs are still able to land jobs within 2-4 months of applying. It all comes down to how well you present yourself and your achievements.

I am from Thailand 🇹🇭. Please allow me to ask you a question. Do you think it is a good idea for me if I will apply for the NHS jobs both by myself directly and by using recruitment agencies at the same time? By doing so, I think I will have a better chances to get an NHS job. Do you agree with me? Why or why not? Honestly, I love ❤ your video clips greatly. Thank you very much for your kindness 🙏 to share something good to me and other medical students around the world.
