Welcome to Yorkshire and Humber
In Yorkshire and Humber, we classify International Medical Graduates (IMGs) as trainees who qualified outside of the UK. Whether you are new to the NHS or you have already been training in the UK for several years, the deanery encourage you to access support and guidance for IMGs, which can be found on these webpages.
IMGs form an important part of the postgraduate training workforce. You bring with you a rich array of global perspectives and experiences that can be of benefit to your colleagues. In turn, the deanery is committed to ensuring your transition to working in the NHS in Yorkshire and Humber is as safe, seamless and rewarding as possible.
The webpages contain a wealth of information that will support you before you arrive in region for training, during your induction period and beyond. You will find key information such as how the deanery can provide you with social support for settling into the area, resources to familiarise you with the NHS healthcare system and to develop your reflective practice, guidance on UK services and amenities, and much more!
In addition to these webpages, if you are a trainee with the School of General Practice you can also review their GP specific information for International Medical Graduates.
Handbook for IMGs by IMGs
This handbook was created by a group of doctors who have all worked or trained outside of the UK.
We understand some of the unique difficulties that International Medical Graduates face when moving to the UK, and we want to share some of the things that we wish we knew before coming to work in the UK.
