Working Overseas

 

Information for UK general practitioners who are interested in working abroad.


 

Working overseas is a rewarding and challenging experience. Our College recognises that the experience doctors gain overseas contributes significantly towards their professional development.

 

The British Medical Association have a Guide for General Practitioners wanting to work overseas which gives advice on what to do before you leave and what to do on your return.

 

The RCGP recommend checking with the country you plan on working in regarding their work criteria and visa requirements. Wonca has a list of Member Organisations from around the world that may be able to give you assistance regarding these matters.
