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 Springfield Medical Practice
Springfield Medical Practice is an NHS general practice providing accessible primary healthcare to its local community in the United Kingdom. Like other modern GP practices, it is likely to support patients through routine consultations, urgent appointments, preventive care, immunisations, screening, medication reviews and management of long-term conditions. The practice works with a wider primary-care team that may include practice nurses, healthcare assistants, pharmacists, physiotherapists, administrative staff and local community services. Its clinical team is expected to follow NHS standards, maintain accurate records and promote safe, inclusive and coordinated care. A salaried GP joining the practice would generally contribute to day-to-day patient services while working collaboratively with colleagues and helping improve quality, access and continuity. Exact team arrangements, patient population and working patterns should be confirmed directly with the practice during recruitment.
