Qualified AHPs (including Paramedics, Radiographers, and Occupational Therapists) shortages in the UK are well documented, and competition for the most qualified is nothing short of intense. That’s why MSI Group look further afield to bring you the best AHP talent from around the world.
What Can You Expect From An International AHP?
AHPs from outside the EU are required to have a BSc relevant to their profession to be able to work in the UK (e.g. Paramedic Science for Paramedics), which means they will hit the ground running and improve patient care from their first day.
We mainly recruit AHPs from countries with qualifications equivalent to those the UK. If their qualification isn't transferable, then they will need to take UK exams to ensure they have the required level of knowledge.
All international candidates need to have passed the IELTS or TOEFL English language exams, unless they are English native speakers.

Our team has over 10 years' experience in recruiting overseas candidates and fully understand the issues faced by overseas healthcare professionals relocating to the UK.
