Working as a healthcare professional
How can I improve my English before applying to work as a health professional in the UK?
To apply to work as a health professional in the UK you need to have an excellent level of English.
The most widely recognised English language examination is the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), and we strongly recommend you sit this as it will significantly increase your chances of finding work. There are two formats, Academic and General: you should choose the Academic version.
The British Council offers English language courses for all levels. Please visit their website for further information on courses and examinations.
