Working in the NHS in the UK can be highly rewarding for international medical graduates (IMGs), but the transition can be challenging.
Adapting to a different healthcare system, cultural norms, and new professional guidelines can be demanding – especially since laws and regulations can vary across the UK's nations.
NHS doctors often need to write reports for adverse incident reviews, coroners' inquiries, or in response to patient complaints. This can be daunting if you haven't written these types of reports before, but our advisers are here to help you as an MDU member. Responding promptly and appropriately can prevent issues from escalating.
Understanding how these legal processes work is crucial to avoiding mistakes and safeguarding your career, so you can continue to uphold high standards of care.
As your medical defence organisation, we're here to support you with guidance and advice on all medico-legal matters. If you need help as a member, get MDU support here.
