Thriving in the NHS addresses everyday life in the UK as an IMG. It aims to provide information that can help doctors overcome anxieties that may build up slowly and ultimately start to chip away confidence. The goal is to help IMGs avoid common pitfalls so that they can focus on being excellent at their jobs and thrive! Since I moved to the UK, I have held different jobs with increasing levels of responsibility. In those roles, I have taken courses, exams, given oral and poster presentations at local and regional meetings. I have had the opportunity to learn from avoidable difficulties I faced. For most International Medical Graduates, its often a similar story. You are dealing with so many moving parts, a new home, a new culture, a new system of work and the list goes on.
