Most IMGs apply for trust grade jobs the same way — and most get ignored. Here are the 5 mistakes keeping international medical graduates out of NHS trust grade roles, and exactly what to do instead.
If you've just got your Oriel results, or you're planning your next application — this is the video I wish someone had sent me when I was in your position.
What we cover:
→ Why mass-applying on NHS Jobs is the wrong move (and what to do instead)
→ How to write a supporting statement so specific it practically writes your offer letter
→ The one portfolio piece that makes departments want to hire you from day one
→ Why one email before you apply can change everything
→ The trust grade hierarchy — and which roles to actually target
Whether you're a PLAB candidate, new to the UK, or navigating the NHS job market after an unsuccessful Oriel round — fix these mistakes before your next application.
