Congratulations on being in one of the most sort after jobs in the UK, I moved to UK last year January on tier 2 Visa as Radiographer, I must say it is the best decision ever, I got 3 job offers, Southhampton, Manchester and Scunthorpe, after lots of enquiries, i decided to move to Scunny, because it is a cheaper and more economical place to start life in a foreign land, and i also had colleagues working there, In my almost 1 year plus here, i have achieved a lot of which in 10 years back home i would not have achieved, UK is the best place to practice Radiography in the world, here you can get to the highest level of this Profession, I am being sponsored by my Trust for postgraduate studies in Medical Ultrasound in University of leeds, about to buy a house, bought a new car, moved my family, got my UK driving license, etc. All i can say is, do your internship and learn very well, Luckily i also finished from UNICAL, we have one of the best Medical School graduates, From Nysc start your registration with HCPC, get it and start applying for jobs, get skype interviews, and by the time you are through with service you must have gotten a job and take it from there. I hope this helps.
Hi, pls my husband is a vet doc with about 14 yrs experience. We recently started thinking of moving our young family to the uk perharps with him going first ( we have three young kids ages 7, 4 and 1). I recently read about the tier 2 visa, but we are confused as to how he can start applying for jobs. Will he just start searching online for vet jobs in the uk or there is a special process for this. Thanks in advance.

my first quote was ok £745 with my provisional license, when i got my License, i had to pay additional £452, which i found ridiculous, and they wouldn’t take even a pence off it. I’m gonna have to look for a better deal when it’s time to renew.

Unfortunately, the situation is quiet different for Vets here. As a vet, you have to pass their licensing exams (which cost about £2500 in total) before you can practice. And you have to do all parts of the exam here in the UK.

And preparing for such an exam will take whomever at least a year because:

1. it's almost like an un-learning and re-learning of everything you are taught in Nigeria. Your years of experience almost never counts. This is mainly because we are taught from a theoretical point of view while here it's more practical.

2. The system is structured such that the pass rate is LOW.

3. Plus, you need to "see practice" that is go to vet clinics, hospitals and farms to observe clinical and non-clinical procedures before taking the exams.

For a start though, you can check out this website where all you need to do, the exam curriculum, past questions and pass list etc have been listed.

https://www.rcvs.org.uk/registration/applications-veterinary-surgeons/statutory-membership-exam/


But people pass o. I personally know about 5 vets from Nigeria who are practicing in the UK now. But they all will tell you the same thing- it's a lot of hardwork. Only ONE person passed after a year. Others took more years than that.

The GOOD NEWS is that with the new Boris-led Brexit Government, the Vet Council here is considering hiring unqualified vets to do some vet jobs usually taken up by European vets e.g Meat inspection etc. But this consideration is still in the early phases and not yet concrete.

So unless, your husband can come in through another route then take his exams then...


If you have more questions, you can drop me a mail. I'm willingly to help to the best of my ability.

All the best!

Really ridiculous. I would expect the price to even reduce after getting your full licence. Seniors in the house, isn’t that how it should be ?

Loads of factors determine the cost of vehicle insurance......

Buy an Audi A3 S3, Golf GTi etc etc, have the best post code, best driving history etc etc

Your insurance company know the car MUST be stolen one day, one day.... So they quote accordingly.....

Once you get your driving licence, you're now high risk, because you would be on the road more now, as opposed to when you had a provisional licence.....

So you see, insurance is a deep pit of clauses....... grin
