Is it now impossible for British IMGs to get into UKFP?
I’m a GP. One of the staff at my GP (British citizen) has been working as a HCA for many years but I just found out they have a medical degree from overseas
Pre COVID they had an FY1 role lined up but due to life circumstances didn’t complete the requirements in time. Since then, life has caused them to fall into their current role and they’ve been continuing this for various reasons with the hope of eventually going through the process of starting FY1.
As a colleague, I am encouraging him to try and restart his career and reach his potential. But I can see with recent prioritisation, this may be difficult/nigh impossible. But I’m far from FY1 so not as familiar.
So any advice? Is this now not a feasible parhway for British IMGs? For an IMG without an internship, is it essentially impossible then to work as a doctor in UK?
