UK Visas and Work Permits
EU citizens do not need an entry visa or a work permit. Doctors from other countries do however need a working visa and a work permit. This can often be sponsored by the Hospital as Doctors are considered a skills shortage profesion. You may be eligible for either a UK Ancestry Visa or Right to Abode certificate if you are a Commonwealth citizen
Doctors who have GMC registration can always apply for a special working visa to allow them to work in the UK. The GMC can give you more information about this kind of visa.
