General Medical Council
Learning and support
We’re committed to helping you put our guidance into practice. We offer learning and development opportunities to help you understand our professional standards and apply them to your day-to-day work.
What is Welcome to UK practice?
Our free workshop is designed to support doctors new to the UK. Adapting to UK practice can be difficult for any doctor, regardless of where you’re from or how experienced you are.
You will get practical advice, and explore different ethical scenarios that you may encounter. And you will learn more about our key standards and guidance.
If you gained your primary medical qualification outside of the UK, and registered with a licence to practise within the last 12 months, then this workshop is for you.
If you are still in the application process, including taking PLAB, please do not book onto a workshop until you have had your application approved.
We know doctors are under considerable pressure at the moment so there’s no obligation for you to attend. But, if you find you do have the time, this workshop is a great way to learn more about practising medicine in the UK. (Updated – 2024)
