Thinking about taking your healthcare career overseas? You are not alone.
Every year, skilled professionals from Australia and New Zealand make the move to the United Kingdom. With the right support, many go on to thrive in roles across the NHS and private healthcare providers. Whether you are newly qualified or an experienced clinician looking for a fresh start, the UK offers a unique combination of professional development and life experience.
Why make the move?
For many Australians and New Zealanders, working in the UK means more than just a job... it is a chance to:
- Gain hands-on experience in leading NHS trusts
- Travel and explore Europe between placements
- Enjoy flexible working options to suit your lifestyle
- Build new skills and clinical specialisms
- Live in diverse and vibrant cities across the UK
“The NHS was always on my radar, but it felt like a big jump. Mediplacements made it easy and I have grown so much, both professionally and personally.”
