Whilst I support International Graduates in post, I am not involved with recruitment and appointments for potential staff.

For jobs/fellowships, please look at the GOSH Job page or contact recruitment@gosh.nhs.uk

If you would like to be observer, you will need to find a supervisor in the relevant specialty at GOSH. Please email them directly and once they agree you can contact Honorary Contracts to help you with the logistics.

Welcome to Great Ormond Street Hospital

Moving to a new country is an exciting, but often challenging time. You may have never been to London or England before, and you may be leaving family and friends behind while you make the most of this opportunity.

Working in a different country can provide fantastic professional and also personal development. However, it can also be a daunting time with lots of uncertainty around the practicalities.

We look forward to welcoming you, our International Medical Graduates (IMG), to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and have prepared this guide to inform you of what to prepare in advance, what to expect in your first few weeks here at GOSH, and where to get help.
