Work Permits

On March 7th 2006 the Department of Health announced changes to the immigration rules for postgraduate doctors and dentists. The changes will mean that all doctors and dentists who wish to work in the UK from outside the EU will need to meet the requirements on an employment category such as the work permit provisions.

From an employers perspective this will mean that any NHS Trust wishing to employ a doctor or dentist outside the EU will have to prove that a "home-grown" doctor cannot fill the vacant position. to find out more, click on the the news article at the top right of this page.
