Ethical support for qualified nurses and healthcare professionals who want to build a career in the UK — from NMC registration through to applications to suitable healthcare employers. This hub covers UK routes; employment and sponsorship are decided independently by employers and UK authorities.
Two connected services for your UK healthcare career.
Built around UK ethical recruitment standards.
The steps a nurse trained outside the UK follows to register with the NMC and apply to UK employers. See the NMC’s step-by-step overseas registration guide.
In short: check your readiness and evidence; submit your NMC eligibility and qualification application; take the NMC CBT while it is processed; provide your English, health, character and indemnity evidence; and the NMC evaluates your completed application. Separately, a UK employer may offer a job with a Certificate of Sponsorship, you apply for the Health and Care Worker visa, and you sit the OSCE in the UK before your NMC PIN is issued.
For most nurses it takes a length of time that varies with the applicant, regulator, testing availability, employer and immigration processing. We can give you an indicative timeline for your situation, but it is not a commitment.
No. We do not charge candidates a fee to be introduced to an employer. Charges relate to genuine training, advisory and documentation services, which are quoted after your eligibility assessment.
No. Those decisions are made by employers and UK Visas and Immigration. We prepare you thoroughly and introduce you only to employers that comply with the NHS Code of Practice for international recruitment.
