Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.

About The Old Court House Surgery
The Old Court House Surgery is a community general practice providing NHS primary-care services to patients in the United Kingdom. Like other GP surgeries, it typically brings together GPs, nurses, healthcare assistants, phlebotomists, administrative staff, and practice-management colleagues to deliver routine and ongoing care. Services commonly include consultations, long-term-condition management, immunisations, health checks, minor procedures, referrals, and diagnostic support such as blood testing. The practice’s work depends on accurate clinical processes, respectful patient communication, confidentiality, and close cooperation with local laboratories and other NHS services. As a smaller primary-care employer, it may offer staff the opportunity to build strong relationships with patients and contribute directly to the smooth running of day-to-day healthcare services. Exact services, facilities, and employment terms should be confirmed with the surgery.
