Our purpose and inception

Doctors Gateway was established in response to the increasing demand for Doctors in the NHS and has been successfully placing medical professionals since 2019. The service streamlines the recruitment processes for internationally trained Doctors looking to work in the UK. In doing so, Doctors Gateway introduced three programmes for junior, middle, and senior-grade Doctors, respectively, ensuring an appropriate opportunity is available at each level. Each of the three programmes is two-years in duration and provides both continuous employment at an NHS partner Trust (hospital) and professional development.

The three programmes are:

  • Specialist programme
  • Plus programme
  • EU programme

We also have several additional programmes to supplement career progression.
