For those who can satisfy the administrative processes, living and working in the UK remains a relatively straightforward prospect for doctors.
Those who can meet all of the GMC criteria will find that there are potentially many career opportunities available to them. Since training protocols in the UK are extremely traditional and structured, professionals passing through the system for two to three years are likely to have automatically reached a certain minimum standard of knowledge and expertise, setting them up well for future success.
Passing an English proficiency (IELTS or OET) and obtaining a GMC license are believed to be the biggest barriers to practicing medicine in the UK, but this is just a bias.
There should be no doubt that the graduates of a country like Turkey, where medical education is very difficult, will be registered with the GMC when they receive the right consultancy.
If you have enough motivation to have passed on through all of these, the UK may offer you much safer placements, better financial opportunities and greater career development compared to most other countries.
CESR (Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration) programme opportunities are paths that can be followed by international specialist, making the move to the UK ever more appealing.
Medical professionals are held in very high esteem in the UK and so there is always a healthy demand for them within NHS trusts.
