Nikhil Sharma, Stroke Consultant and Associate Medical Director for Patient Safety
We do recruit locally employed doctors, who depending on level of experience in a training post, would be salary matched, ranging from £32,398– £63,152.
In addition to base salary, depending on rota pattern, additional payments may apply for on-call, night and weekend cover.
If you’re working as a specialty doctor, you’ll earn a basic salary of £52,530 to £82,400. If you are a specialist grade doctor, you'll earn a basic salary of £83,945 to £92,275.
As a consultant, you'll earn a basic salary of £99,532-£131,964 per year, depending on the length of your service.
Where a consultant’s training has been lengthened by virtue of being in a flexible training scheme or because of undergoing dual qualification, LUHFT will, where necessary, credit appropriate additional seniority to ensure that the consultant is not prevented from reaching the pay threshold they would have attained had they trained on a full time or single qualification basis (e.g. training extended by two years counts as the equivalent of two years’ seniority as a consultant on first appointment as a consultant).
All doctors intending to practise medicine in the UK are required to be registered with the GMC.
Doctors who have never been registered with the GMC will have to apply for registration with a licence to practise. They will not be able to apply for registration without a licence.
The requirements for registration in the UK will depend on a number of factors:
First you should check that you possess an acceptable primary medical qualification to apply for registration. If you are in any doubt you should check your qualifications status with the GMC.
In addition, international medical graduates (IMGs) will be required to demonstrate their medical knowledge and skills, and all applicants may have to demonstrate they are competent in using the English language before they are registered. NHS Employers has published a helpful guide for IMGs on its website.
Being registered with the GMC does not guarantee that you will find employment within the UK.
LUHFT runs an enhanced induction for IMGs to support successful applicants into work.
