What Makes the UK Desirable for Us as IMGs


Hi, I am Mohamed Abdoun, a Sudanese doctor doing an internship and waiting for my PLAB 1 results. I want to share with you why the UK is one of the main pathways for IMGs from worldwide to work and train in one of the leading healthcare systems. I will discuss this topic in separate divisions:

 

  • Equity, Diversity, and Multicultural Healthcare System

  • Quality and Opportunities in the UK

  • Weather, Green Landscapes, and Proximity to Other Countries

  • History, Infrastructure, and Sports


Equity, Diversity, and Multicultural Healthcare System

 

One thing that a lot of IMGs from over the world lack in their countries and is conducted as essential in Uk is equity. equity is an important and one of the main basis for solid health care for patients so everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve their full health potential with no discrimination on basis of race socioeconomic status, or educational background.


Another thing that makes Uk superior regarding health system is how it adapt diversity in different health care facilities you can imagine NHS as smaller earth with every nation you can get work with and exchange culture and see the world from their perspective and learn from them about far countries without leaving Uk so basically beside your work as health care physician you will earn a lot of culture 

 

Quality and Opportunities in the UK

 

After years of studying in medical school and graduation, everyone deserves top-tier training. However, many of our countries lack these opportunities. In the UK, with increased demand for physicians, it's a win-win situation. IMGs can develop their skills in one of the best places to practice medicine, while the country gains committed physicians to support its healthcare system.


Only a few countries worldwide offer such opportunities for medical graduates from outside to contribute their expertise. We truly appreciate these opportunities and work with the NHS to give our maximum efforts to enhance healthcare services for patients.

 

Weather, Green Landscapes, and Proximity to Every Country


The UK's weather is one of the main reasons why I chose this country to train, work, and start a life here. I love nature, especially the green landscapes, diverse plants, flowers, and lakes. The often cloudy weather, which many English people may not prefer, is perfect for me. Coming from very sunny countries where temperatures reach 48°C every summer, I prefer cloudy days or even rain, which boosts my mood.


This combination is ideal for me to live in. I also appreciate the weather in countries like New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and Spain. The UK's weather is phenomenal for some of us, but in the end, it depends on one's preference.

 

History, Infrastructure, and Sports

 

The UK has something that many countries lack: a rich and rigorous history full of wonders and conflicts. It's a great hobby to explore libraries and delve into England's history, innovations, and the lives of innovators. Visiting museums across the country allows you to experience history in the present.


The UK boasts astonishing infrastructure, from unique houses in rural and urban areas to trains that offer tours around the country.


A huge plus for us when working in the UK is sports, and football in particular. If you love football like me, you'll feel like you're in paradise. You can watch Premier League and Champions League matches in person, and you're also near some of the strongest leagues in the world like La Liga and Bundesliga.
