Competitions for medical specialists in the UK and Ireland during the summer of 2022.

Specialist doctor positions are available in the UK and Ireland in June, July, and August 2022.

Employers, as is customary in the English-speaking countries in Europe, require all doctors who apply for job competitions to have a doctor’s licence. This is an important step in the process, and hospitals will not consider candidates who are not licenced in the country where you are applying. How to get a licence in the UK can be found here, and how to get a licence in Ireland can be found here. These two countries also offer the option of part-time work (locum positions), about which more information can be provided individually.

 !! All doctors who have an active IMC or GMC license can expect that we will find the job they want within a month!
