We’re excited you have expressed interest in joining our UK Healthcare programme. Here at NHS Professionals, we want to ensure you have the best possible experience of coming to live and work in the United Kingdom (UK).
Therefore, we’ve put together a variety of materials designed to simply explain the processes you will be going through when working towards your healthcare career in the UK.
To help you with your application, we’ve put together application support packs detailing what you should include in your CV and how to prepare for your interview. We’ve also provided a guide on the Computer Based Test (CBT), which is only relevant for Nursing and Midwifery roles.
In order to join our UK Healthcare programme, you will need to be either from an English-speaking country or pass an English language test. The language requirements differ slightly depending on the role you are applying for.

For Allied Health Professional (AHP) roles, if your role requires a Health Care and Professionals Council (HCPC) registration, you will need to pass one of the following English language tests:
For AHP roles that do not require HCPC registration, such as sonographers, you will have an English Language test as part of your visa application, and we will guide you through this process closer to the time.
