This is my experience sharing.  Please refer to the official website for more information.   I did my e-ALS on 1st July 2022.  Main pages https://www.resus.org.uk/training-courses/adult-life-support/e-als-advanced-life-support How to book? As far as I knew there are 2 methods: 1. Go to resus.org.uk website Scroll to the lower bottom to search the place and get the contact details.  https://www.resus.org.uk/training-courses/adult-life-support/e-als-advanced-life-support     Tips : Try to email several organizers after you found your desirable time and place.  The price could be varied (factors to consider: travel distance/cost, and location).  2.

I got two interviews.  I accepted one of the offers and I stop applying for jobs.  Congratulations to receive the job interview. An overview of NHS interview.   Usually, it starts with  introducing yourself (tell about your cv),  then clinical and ethics questions,  last Questions, and Answers.   Usually, each interview took 15-20mins time only .  You should be precise.  > Some interviews could email you beforehand and request you to prepare with a presentation/ teaching. Some interviews could be face to face.          *I received an invitation for an interview face to face.

This is my personal experience.  I feel lost at the beginning of this tunnel.  These articles aim to help IMG to figure out what to do, as an outline of reference.  The detail of trust or local induction will not be discussed here. Very important 1. Occupational health clearance -date will be given, take blood for hep, MMR, TB (IGRA) - varies with trust/ local policy - Most trusts allow the new starter to work only after the occupational clearance. Some trust does allow you to start the observation/ shadowing without it.  - The test takes one day (just go to take your blood), the appointment may take one week to book, the result could be out in 1 to 2week's time depending on trust.  Tips : Try to book as soon as possible. Make a plan for it.  2. Accommodation  My experience of first accommodation:  https://helenngjourney.blogspot.com/2022/03/first-accommodation-in-uk.html Tips : This is very important. You will need to have proof of address to pro...
