Doctors

Most medical care is provided through the National Health Service (NHS) and is free of charge to patients. The NHS is the largest employer in the UK. Standards in the NHS are generally very high with the current government committed to increasing accessibility and quality of care in both general practice and hospital services. This creates excellent conditions for all professionals.

General Practice: Almost everyone in the UK is registered with a NHS General Practitioner (GP) who is responsible for providing a broad range of medical services supported by nurses and other healthcare professionals. Most GPs work in groups sharing the workload of the surgery and allowing a degree of specialisation.

Hospital Practice: The UK is currently investing heavily in the hospital sector, replacing older units with new facilities and therefore delivering the highest quality care.
Doctors in UK hospitals work in teams headed by a consultant who is assisted by doctors in training grades. In addition non-consultant specialists are employed in some units and have considerable responsibility. Hospital doctors in the UK are well remunerated and enjoy a good standard of living.
