Hi everyone,

I’d appreciate some advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation or has some knowledge regarding this.

Suppose someone has already obtained GMC registration with a licence to practise, but has now changed their plans and is considering pursuing postgraduate training/residency in their home country instead of immediately moving to the UK.

The plan would be to complete the residency over the next 4–5 years and then move to the UK.

I have a few questions:

Can I give up my GMC licence to practise for now and restore/reactivate it later when I decide to move to the UK?

If the registration/licence is maintained, could they simply return to the UK after completing residency and apply for NHS jobs/training?

After completing a residency in the home country, would they be required to take MRCP/MRCS/MRCEM or another UK membership exam ?

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone tell me what NHS Trusts/interviewers usually ask for to verify current or previous employment from your home country (outside the UK)?

Do they usually accept an experience/employment certificate, or can they ask for documents such as a joining/appointment letter, salary slips, or other proof of employment?

I had a query regarding GMC registration, my OET is expired but I saw a clause on the GMC website stating that a recent PLAB 2 pass is also considered valid, so I wanted to ask which date is accepted for the 3 month period, is it the exam date of my PLAB 2 or the result date of my PLAB 2 ?

Has any IMG managed to get a junior or middle grade doctor job in the NHS this year with no prior NHS experience? If yes, what do you think helped you get shortlisted for the job?

Has anyone recently completed the MyIntealth account establishment process? How long did it take to establish your account, and how long after NotaryCam was it approved?
