Salary & employee benefits are important considerations when applying for jobs in the NHS.
The NHS is one of the most developed health systems in the world and doctors form an integral part of delivering high quality patient care. As such doctors are rewarded with competitive pay rates and benefits, some of which will not be afforded to you in other countries across the world. In this article we will discuss the NHS employee benefits, covering the following topics:
Annual leave
Pay enhancements
Personal development & career progression
Sick leave
Maternity leave
Paternity leave
Parental leave
NHS pension
NHS discounts
Doctors in training
Study leave
Study budget
Study sessions
Part-time training
The doctor salary package in the UK, including benefits, can as a whole, make working for the NHS an attraction for many overseas doctors.
Whatever grade or specialty you join, you will become an integral part of the NHS and as such enjoy one of the most competitive packages offered by a UK employer.
Everyone who works in the NHS is guaranteed an annual salary matched to their role, and even better are afforded the opportunity to increase this year-on-year through additional responsibilities and training & development.
All staff will receive an attractive annual leave package in addition to a range of benefits.
Annual leave:
You are entitled to be paid annual leave every year, the amount of annual leave you receive will increase depending on your level of service within the NHS.
You will also receive an additional 8 days of bank holidays.
The longer you work in the NHS, the more annual leave you get.
The table below summarises the current entitlement:
Length of service
Annual leave entitlement
0-5 years
27 days + 8 days bank holidays
After 5 years
29 days + 8 days bank holidays
After 10 years
33 days + 8 days bank holidays
Pay enhancements:
Pay enhancements reward out of hours working, shifts, overtime and on calls. This means that you can enhance your take home pay each month.
Personal development & career progression:
Each member of staff is given an annual review focused on their own progress and development designed to support their career aspirations.
Sick leave:
Sick days will not be deducted from your annual leave days. If you are unfortunate enough to get sick during annual leave, you may also be able to claim it back so you can use the annual leave another time.
Maternity leave:
Regardless of how long you’ve been working in the NHS, all pregnant employees are entitled to 1-year maternity leave. It is illegal for your employer to fire you during this time. Depending on how long you’ve been working in the NHS during pregnancy, you may also be entitled to maternity pay.
Paternity leave:
Fathers are entitled to 2 weeks paternity leave. This applies to same-sex partners as well as nominated carers for single mothers.
Shared parental leave:
The 1-year maternity leave can in some cases be shared between the parents.
Parental leave:
You are also entitled to 18 weeks parental leave for each child until your child reaches 18 years of age.
Some weeks may be paid, but most of this leave is unpaid.
This is particularly useful for IMGs as it can be used for various things to ensure that your family is cared for and settled into life in the UK. For example, you can take agreed parental leave for things such as helping your child settle into school, if sick, staying with them in hospital, or just to spend more time with your children when you feel it is necessary.
NHS pension:
The NHS Pension is a good scheme when compared with other private pensions available both in the UK and worldwide. In the current financial market, we have found it hard to find a better one, it is generous and an excellent package overall.
All new permanent employees are automatically enrolled in the NHS Pension scheme.
NHS discounts:
A useful range of discounts for NHS employees are available with many shops and services. Don’t forget to ask any shop, restaurant, hotel or any service whether they offer discounts to NHS employees. You will be pleasantly surprised how many do, and can save a lot of money when taking holiday breaks in the UK, or shopping trips.
Doctors in training:
Doctors in training will receive the following additional benefits:
Study leave:
Trainees from FY2 and above will have an entitlement to receive paid study leave. For trainees this is usually 30 days per year with the majority allocated to compulsory teaching sessions provided by the training programme, and 10 days for the trainee to decide what to do with.
Study budget:
Trainees will have access to a small amount of money to attend courses and conferences. It usually does not cover all the expenses, but it undoubtedly helps.
Study sessions:
It is important to note that this is not the same as study leave, instead trainees will have a half day or 2 half days a week for study which can be used to work on audits, presentations, publications and research.
Most IMGs typically use study leave to attend courses, conferences, and study for exams.
Part-time training:
If you need to reduce your hours in order to balance work and other commitments like caring for children or an elderly family member, you can request to complete your training part-time. This is known as “less than full time training” or LTFT training.
The least you can work is 50%, remember this will mean you will take twice as long to complete your training.
Your annual pay with LTFT training will be considerably less than a full-time job. For IMGs it is important to note that this may have implications whilst working on a Tier 2 visa where you generally need to earn more than £30,000 per year.
For the full terms and conditions of working in the NHS, please read through the employee handbook.

Each one has its own traditions and customs to explore and get involved in, everyone is welcome to join the fun!
11. National Parks

Hot sunny days at the beach, rainy days in the city, or rainbows across the landscape, the UK has it all – so join the fun and start talking about it! Just remember to pack an umbrella.
9. Music
For decades British music has taken the world by storm. Blues, rock, folk, metal, ska, punk, rock’n’roll, jazz, classical, electronic, hip hop, pop… there is something for everyone with bustling music scenes up and down the country. Not only can you find British music to follow, but the UK is a hub for diverse musical tastes and cultural difference, with world music accessible with ease.

From ice ages to invasions, British History is diverse with traces left everywhere you look. Centuries of conquerors and migrants have shaped the United Kingdom, and there is plenty to explore.

Architectural masterpieces like the Tower of London, the palace of Westminster, Buckingham Palace, Stonehenge, the Angel of the North, Tower Bridge, Blackpool Tower… the list is endless and are all amazing landmarks that everyone should visit.
3. Gardens
The Brits take their gardening seriously, and thank goodness, because there are hundreds of wonderful gardens bursting with colour to enjoy. From grand estates like Abney House, to perfected wonders at Kew Gardens, or even the humble village garden, take a stroll and breathe in the intoxicating smell of honeysuckle.
2. Beaches
Yes, that’s right, the beaches! Britain might not be famous for warm weather, but it has miles of unspoiled coastline and many beautiful beaches to explore. In Britain you are never that far away from a beach, even in London!
1. The People

A fitness to practice is required for overseas doctors who want to register with the GMC.
This blog will break down what the rules are, and what evidence you will need to prepare and provide by looking at the following:
What is evidence of your fitness to practice?
Declaration of your fitness to practice
Supporting evidence
Certificate of good standing
How do I request a certificate of good standing?
Remember, at IMG Connect we always advise IMGs to prepare all documents before starting applications, it will save you time, and stress!
What is evidence of your fitness to practice?
As part of your GMC application, the GMC require you to provide evidence of your fitness to practice. This is broken down into two areas from your online application:
A declaration of your fitness to practice
Your supporting evidence
Declaration of fitness to practice:
As part of your online GMC application to join the register you must complete a declaration of fitness to practice. This declaration is only valid for 3 months, so ensure you get the timing right with your application, otherwise the GMC will ask you to complete a new one.
When completing your application online, you will be asked 12 questions in the fitness to practice character declaration section. You should complete the declaration by choosing YES or NO for each question.
These cover a range of fitness to practice topics, including previous convictions, disciplinary actions, conduct and so on.
It is important to say that you should always be honest in your answers.
Supporting evidence:
The GMC will ask you to provide supporting evidence of your fitness to practice, these are broken down into the following:
details of all postgraduate medical experience for the last five years or since you graduated
details of all postgraduate non-medical experience for the last five years or since you graduated*
details of all certain other activities for the last five years or since you graduated
a certificate of good standing from each medical regulatory authority you've been registered or licensed with
*If you have worked in a non-medical capacity it is also likely that you will be asked for employer references to cover this non-medical work.
Certificate of good standing
As above, you will require a certificate from your regulatory body to be sent to the GMC to confirm your good standing with them. The GMC will need a certificate of good standing from all of the countries you've been registered with in that time, even if you haven't been practising there. You can register for a certificate of good standing from your regulatory body in your home country, which they will send directly to the GMC.
Certificates of good standing and employer references are only valid for three months from the date that they are issued and must be valid on the date your application to the GMC is approved.
What is a certificate of good standing?
A certificate of good standing will show any restrictions on your practice, your registration history, including current license status, identity information and any current proceedings. It should be issued in English.
In the European Union these documents are known as certificates of current professional status.
How do I request a certificate?
You will need to contact your regulatory body and request this from them directly. You can find out which medical regulatory authority to contact using the Certificate of good standing database.

Here we will look closely at the application for CESR in acute and general medicine.
In particular, we will explore the specialty specific guidance on providing evidence for an application for entry onto the Specialist Register for Acute Internal Medicine or Acute Medicine with a Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration or CESR.
What is CESR in Acute Internal Medicine in the NHS?
As an Acute Medicine specialist, attaining CESR will mean you are qualified to practice at consultant level in the NHS in Acute Medicine. Have a read through our CESR articles found in the IMG Resources library to understand a little more.
Do I need MRCP to attain CESR in Acute Medicine?
No, whilst it is always a benefit to attain MRCP and you may have already attained MRCP as by ways of registering with the GMC, you do not require MRCP to attain CESR in Acute Internal Medicine.
Any doctor wishing to attain Specialist Registration via the CCT route must attain MRCP(UK).
What is the indicative period of training for a CCT in Acute Internal Medicine?
The indicative period of training for a CCT in Acute Internal Medicine is six years and it is highly unlikely that you would achieve the competencies required for a CCT in a shorter period of time.
This training consists of the following:
2 years in Core Medical Training OR
Acute Care Common Stem (ACCS) OR
AND
Four years training in Acute Internal Medicine
Therefore, CESR applicants must demonstrate that they have achieved the competencies in each of these areas.
For a complete list of competencies refer to the Acute Internal Medicine Curriculum documentation.
Submitting Evidence
Do not submit original documents – this is very important.
All your copies, other than qualifications you’re getting authenticated must be accompanied by a proformas signed by the person who is attesting to the validity and accuracy of your evidence (your verifier).
It is very important that you read an explanation of how to do this in the GMC’s important notice about evidence.
How much evidence should you submit?
The GMC recognises that doctors will often not have all the evidence required for a complete CESR application, often many doctors will start their application and delay starting their application until they are able to gather all the evidence.
The evidence must cover the knowledge, skills and qualifications to demonstrate the required competencies in all areas of the Acute Internal Medicine Curriculum.
If evidence is missing from any one area of the curriculum, then the application will fail.
If you have a piece of evidence that is relevant to more than one domain, do not include multiple copies in your bundle. Instead include one copy and list it in your evidence list under each relevant area, stating that the document is located elsewhere.
The GMC asks that only evidence that is strictly relevant is sent as it will help them to process the application quicker. The guidance on compiling your evidence will help you to decide what is relevant and what is not – make sure you are reading the latest version on the GMC website – here.
It is important to note that evidence that is more than five years old will be given less weight than more recent evidence, so you may not need to include it.
As a general guide, an application for CESR could expect to see around 800-1000 pages of evidence.
The types of evidence are divided into four different domains, the GMC recommends that you apportion the evidence provided as per the pie chart below:
Please note, you cannot compensate for evidence lacking in one area by providing more evidence in another area.
Make sure to anonymise your evidence:
It is very important to anonymise your evidence before submitting it to the GMC.
You must remove the following:
All patient identifying details
Details of patients’ relatives
Details of colleagues that you have assessed, written a reference for, or who have been involved in a complaint you have submitted. This includes:
Names (first and last)
addresses
contact details such as phone numbers or email addresses
NHS numbers & other individual patient numbers
GMC numbers
In Summary:
If you have any questions or uncertainties, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the IMG Connect team. However, your official point of reference for any queries should the GMC – they can answer and provide the most updated information on CESR applications for overseas Acute Medicine doctors looking to work as NHS Consultants in Acute Medicine.

Where you have worked in a specialised area for a substantial period of time, evidence will be required to the following effect:
That at one stage in your career you achieved the requirements and competencies of the relevant specialty curriculum
These skills have been maintained within the last five years
Your current specialised practice allows you to meet all of the domains above
You must submit evidence to demonstrate that you can practise competently and independently across the breadth of the CCT curriculum
