The UK needs more doctors, but IMGs still struggle to land jobs. Why? The competition is tougher than it seems. While there’s an overall shortage, bottlenecks like limited training posts, visa hurdles, and NHS budget constraints make it difficult for new doctors—especially IMGs—to secure roles. Some key challenges include:
Training Bottlenecks – More applicants than available training spots.
Visa & Bureaucracy – Lengthy GMC registration & work visa delays.
Location Matters – Popular cities are oversaturated, while other areas need doctors.
Lack of UK Experience – Hard to get your first job without NHS references.
