Original question: 鈥淲hat are your plans post qualification?鈥
*The source adds the following: for the purposes of this survey, questions relating to GP roles/work in the UK refer to working clinically as a GP within NHS general practice only.
In 2024, among general practitioner (GP) trainees within two months of completing their training, only ** percent had secured a job in the UK*. Half of GP trainees were (considering) looking for jobs, while **** percent of trainees have decided not to seek work as a GP in the UK due to various reasons.
International medical graduates who trained as a GP in the UK face the threat of deportation right after receiving their certificate of completion of training (CCT). This is because a three-year GP training doesn't qualify them for indefinite leave to remain (which requires five years of working in the UK). Only since autumn 2023, are GP trainees now granted a four-month window to remain and seek employment. However, they require a visa sponsorship, which not every GP practice has a license for.
