Medicine

In addition to having a medical degree, you will also need to be registered with the General Medical Council to work in the UK or alternatively have successfully applied for an International Training Fellowship. You should have attained a higher postgraduate qualification (for example, MSc or equivalent) and have current experience in the appropriate medical specialty. An interview will form part of the selection process.

Employment may be arranged in conjunction with the course of study or alternatively you may already be in full-time employment in the UK.

For further information regarding eligibility for International Training Fellowships, please email mchmmedadmin@wwl.nhs.uk.
