Alison.com seems more uk certified.



Janey did u previously have a health related degree? Or you’re like me from the arts?

Florence academy is good too

gistbite:


Florence academy is good too

Are the courses done here, UK certified and please what is the UK equivalent?

AllisonUK:


Mark my words; God is going to bless you.
Please give me link to the short courses. Are they free? I have a 3+ years of working experience at an FMC doing ECG/EEG and Spirometry in an actual Physiology unit. The other Echo, Endoscopy, dialysis and side lab matters can be adequately fine-tuned too, if push comes to shove.

God bless you too.
Which area are you most proficient in/do you prefer to work in? That would determine how I can help streamline the courses to recommend.
Meanwhile you can search for 'MEDICAL LOCUM JOBS' on Instagram to see the courses they offer.

Hello
Please help a sister,which site did you go to for jobs, i have bein applying but its bin rejection.
Though i studied accounting, but i have bin working at an primary health care in my area as a voluntary clinical attendant.
Please hlp me out,how do i go about it

The sites have been posted here time and time again. All you need to do is go back to read from previous pages or from the beginning to get a good idea of what to do.

What has your job duties been? Let's see how I can give further assistance

It's done online and UK certified
free too. It counts towards CPD

Thanks a lot. I was unconsciously designated as the chief in charge of EEG during the contract and I must say it was somehow satisfying, given that it tasked my head a lot more than did
the ECG and Spirometry...but that's not to say that I actively seek for stress sha. So I would say I'm most proficient in the neuro (as per naija level). Then again, I have one bias deeeep down about the fact that most neuro cases really have no absolute solution. So so so, I can still manage Respiratory PSG.

In brief, I can do neuro or respiratory physiology. You can advise me further please with regards to career prospects and satisfaction of cos..I wish to enjoy the money I work for...

Also, because I wasn't seeing a physiology future in Nigeria, I don't have a masters. Which brings me to another question; can I be accepted on that RCCP register without a masters degree? And I'm seeing many many things that are tiring me jare. Please help me. I would simply go for carer, but that would be insulting the effort I put into college of medicine, asides the fact that that area is steadily drawing plenty attention.
And I'll check that medical locum stuff. Thanks so much.

Please ehn... to find this healthcare jobs for a certificate of Sponsorship hard o. And all these agents are just calling million million, one can't even tell the fake from real. The zoom meeting I attend today, na so so million everywhere

Anyone selling Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) to you is a big time criminal. CoS is not for sale to employee. Is d duty of ur employer to give you CoS. The employer pay for it.

Regarding getting health care jobs in UK. It will be very difficult for someone who is not in UK but that does not mean that is not possible for you to achieve that. Is very possible but it demand determination and consistency.
Get ready to get rejection/unsuccessful email messages.

It does not matter weather you study art or science.

The only challenge with the whole process is just that location. Not in UK.

Some employers employ one without health care experience and train them.

If you have determination of leaving naija. Never lose hope. Keep applying for jobs.

dee1504:


Keep trying, NEVER GIVE UP. I know someone who has done 4 interview without success, whereas I got mine on 1st interview after over 40 applications. You didn't get the job because there's someone more qualified than you. Keep improving yourself and keep improving your CV on Trac jobs. As long as they keep shortlisting you, you're very much qualified. Your Good News is on the way.

Don't forget to share your qualifications and work experiences to help others on this thread.

Hey congratulations >> dee1504 and Percaput

Please did they specifically say it will be a virtual interview?

I got shortlisted for an interview on 9th of March and they just sent the physical address, they did not mention Anything about online interview there.

I replied the email telling the lady on the other end that I'm in Nigeria and can't possibly be in the UK for the interview but she has not replied after two days. I'm already upgrading myself taking new courses on Alison.

Did they specifically say it will be online during your own or they just sent the physical address like mine?

Hi,

I remembered while I was in Nigeria, I got shortlisted to attend a physical interview, I simply emailed them suggesting we have the interview virtually and gave my reason.

Although, I had my study visa, however, my flight was scheduled for a later date.

So I'll advise you to email them for an online interview and reiterate you are in Nigeria.

This is scam. Please don’t pay anyone for CERTIFICATE OF SPONSORSHIP. It's the company that will offer you that free of charge.

With this amount, you might as well go for masters in Nursing or Social work and get a job here before the end of your course.

gistbite:

Oh, thank you. But can we say that the CPD certificate above or equivalent to level 2 diploma?

I will send her another email this night. And if she still did not respond after work hours on Monday, then I will call her on Tuesday.

But during your application did you tell them you were in Nigeria or UK?

Thanks dear

Divinemercyy:

Wow. Thank you so much Mercy.

I claim this. I know it will end in praise.

I'm still sending out other applications even

Trust Nigerians to scam this whole care visa...gullible pple too will fall yakata too plus those doing emergency centres for certifications. Why are we like this? Gosh!

Hello.

So I'm guessing you're quite more proficient in EEG than in ECG and Spirometry. There is a course I took that served as a qualification course for me and I also used it for my RCCP. I'll forward the details to your mail when I get more information on the next batch. However, Respiratory and Cardiac physiology have the most vacancies. Cardiac is quite wide and you will need to be proficient in more tests than ECG (Echo, Pacemaker programming, stress tests, Holter monitoring, Tilt table, etc). Respiratory is not that wide, once you can do Forced Vital Capacity and can interpret Spirograms, you will be trained for the rest. As for Neuro, since you are good at EEG, you can try to learn Nerve conduction studies (carpal tunnel syndrome tests) and also try to be proficient at interpreting EEGs. That will put you in good stead. Sleep physiology (PSG) also has vacancies too but you also need to be proficient.

That being said, I would advise that you 'pick a struggle' and focus on it. Maximum of 2 but don't focus on all, it may affect your chances.

About interviews, all they want to know is how good you are at performing and interpreting all the tests in the specialty. Once they can see some level of proficiency, you will get the job. But be advised, YOU WILL BE GRILLED EXTENSIVELY! So know your onions very well. Once you perform satisfactorily in the interview and you get the job, that's when they'll start to ask for your qualifications.

Masters is not necessary for getting a job, neither is it necessary for RCCP. I got both from Nigeria without masters and I still don't have it. You don't need to go for Carer since you're way more qualified and experienced than a care worker.

When applying for jobs, target Band 5 and 6 jobs. You will get PLENTY rejections, its normal. Just don't give up. If you have made up your mind on your area of focus, you can start your applications. If you get stuck at any point, just shoot me an email.

I hope that helps.

I have replied you on this already. Just send them an email, they will definitely respond. If the job is a Band 3 and above, they can do virtual interview. They even prefer that cos of COVID. 9th March is over 2 weeks away, you will surely get a response. No need to disturb them, it makes you look desperate. If they don't reply after 1 week, send another email.

I have seen people who got a physical interview invite initially and later had it changed to a virtual interview. Just download MS Teams, create an account and wait for them to send the interview invite link.

Wishing you success in your interview.

CoS is £1,000 per year and 1 CRIMINAL is asking you to bring money that you can use to run Masters in the UK? CoS is paid for by the employer and the Employer ONLY

I need to stress that anyone asking for money before getting you a job or issuing CoS is a CRIMINAL. Genuine agents get paid by the Employers not the Applicants. DON'T SCAM YOURSELVES!!!

Ohhhh... I'm overwhelmed by this show of kindness and support. Thanks soo much Dee! I will keep everyone updated. Be it in a few weeks or year end. I don mean this UK, I don mean am be that. God bless all our struggles.

Hi, I just came across this thread. I attended a zoom meeting about this care assistance program. I was told people without any knowledge about the Health sector can go to hospitals to volunteer to gain experience also for recommendation letter when needed. My question is can I apply while doing this volunteering thing or what do I put as experience when creating a CV for this. Pardon me if my description is not that straightforward

Janeyy22:


Sign up at indeed.com and always search for jobs with tier2 visa sponsorship. If a job doesn't indicate sponsorship abeg no apply cos u would be wasting your time. Yes just write ur ielts, many employers require it

Most jobs on this site requires one who’s resident in any of the towns in UK. Not easy

Get a hospital for volunteer...get accepted,start the volunteer job and fix in your resume as a current experience to present.
Then get online and register for certified courses on caregiving/health too.

Hope I helped...?

Note: I am not an expert on this,,just helping with dlitttle info in my possession.


Cheers
