Hello Thank you both are you for your replies and advice. All help is much appreciated! I do keep uptodate with the NHS in the news, and having many friends who still work there I'm well aware of the difficult working conditions. Nevertheless its a choice I've decided to make! Interestingly in the news this week there's a project being launched to recruit International GPs to the NHS, and they are looking at streamlining the process for Australian GPs. So it may be good timing for me, though costly for the UK. Again thanks for you help, Faye

Hello I'm just wondering if any doctors have experience of or contacts who have returned to UK after working in Australia? I left the UK 4 years ago and have since completed my General Practitioner training in Australia. I am now looking to return home early 2018 (apparently this makes me crazy!). My research tells me I face a mountain of daunting paperwork to get my GP training accredited so I can work over there. Looks like I have to apply for entry onto the Specialist Register via CEGPR (Certificate of Eligibility for General Practice Registration) which consists of a 800 page portfolio. It would be really helpful to talk to someone who's done it already... I am also taking with me my Australian partner and we plan to apply for a partner visa which seems like another large hurdle! Any experience of that would be useful to hear about too!!! Who would think returning home would be so difficult. Any help much appreciated. Thanks! Faye
