Consultation

Sound familiar?

You've done the research. The hard part is knowing what applies to you.

Between TikTok, WhatsApp groups, friends already in the UK and the regulators' own websites, there's no shortage of advice. The trouble is that a lot of it is about someone else's profession, qualifications or timeline.

These are the questions most people start with:

Can I practise in the UK with my qualifications?
Which registration pathway applies to my profession?
Do I need IELTS or OET?
Which exams and documents will I need?
How much is this going to cost me?
What should I do first?
Is the advice I'm following actually right for me?
Is paying for guidance worth it when there's so much free information?

When the advice doesn't match, every decision feels risky.

One video says start with the exam. A friend says sort your documents first. Someone in a group says your qualification won't count, and someone else says it will.

So you either wait, because you don't want to pay for the wrong thing, or you pay for something and then wonder whether it was the right step.

You're budgeting carefully. Work and family still need you. Every exam fee and every document request has to count.

Plenty of people work it out on their own, and that's fine. This is for when you'd rather be sure.

A better starting point

Start with your own pathway, not someone else's.

Before the next exam fee, course or document request, get clear on four things:

1
Your regulator and route
Which UK regulator and pathway apply to your profession.
2
Your requirements
Which requirements apply to your qualifications and experience.
3
Your preparation
What to prepare now, and what can wait.
4
Your order of steps
What comes first, what comes next, and what to check directly with the regulator.

The regulators' websites have the final word on requirements, and you should use them. But they're written for everyone. A good consultation helps you read them for your own situation: what matters to you, what doesn't, and what to double-check.

That's what personal guidance adds. It doesn't replace the official information. It makes it usable.

Who you'll be talking to

Talk it through with people who've been there.

NHMi is a UK-based healthcare mobility consultancy. We help internationally trained professionals work out their own pathway and plan what to do next. We started it because we know how hard it is to get a straight answer.

CO
Cliford Oburu
Co-founder · Registered Clinical Officer (Kenya) · Digital Health specialist

Cliford trained as a clinician in Kenya and moved to the UK in 2023. At that time, no UK registration body recognised his clinical medicine training, so he started as a Clinical Support Worker and volunteered with an NHS Foundation Trust.

When the Leng Review set out a structured pathway into Physician Associate roles, he began his own application.

KA
Kibwana Awinyo
Co-founder · Healthcare Workforce Integration & Mobility Coordinator

Kibwana moved to the UK in 2011 and learned the system first-hand. For the last five years she has supported hundreds of internationally recruited nurses, allied health professionals and doctors through recruitment, onboarding, relocation and settling in.

She holds an Associate Project Management qualification at Level 7.

How we work

Clarity first. Commitment later.

We don't place people in jobs, and we don't promise outcomes. We help you understand where you stand and decide what to do next.

Built around you
Guidance based on your profession, your qualifications and your goals, not a general talk about the UK system.
Honest with you
If your route is longer than you hoped, or something needs checking, we'll say so.
Written down
You leave with a roadmap you can come back to, not just memories of a call.
Yours to act on
The aim is that you understand your pathway well enough to move on it yourself, whether or not you ever use another NHMi service.

The consultation

The 60-Minute UK Healthcare Pathway Consultation

One focused session with NHMi, then a written roadmap you can follow. Here's what you walk away with.

1
A look at where you stand
An assessment of your eligibility and circumstances: your profession, qualifications, registration history and experience, set against the requirements that may apply.
2
Guidance for your pathway
A one-to-one conversation, in plain language, about the route that fits you. Bring your questions.
3
A written roadmap
Your pathway and next steps written down to follow and come back to. It reaches your inbox within two working days.
4
Our eligibility opinion
Our honest view of where you stand. It's an opinion to guide your planning, not a decision from the regulator.
5
Your next steps
What to do first, what comes after, and what can wait.
6
A document checklist
The documents and evidence to start gathering for your route. We tell you what to collect. We don't verify the documents.
7
A follow-up email
A written summary after the session, so nothing gets lost.

Common questions

Free information is useful, and you should use it, starting with the regulators' own websites. What it can't do is tell you which parts apply to you. That's what the session is for. If it helps you avoid one step you didn't need, that already matters.
No. Some people book before they've done anything. Others book after an exam or some documents are already done. We start from wherever you are.
Yes. If you're still deciding whether the UK is right for you, the session shows what the pathway involves before you commit. If you'd rather try something free first, there's a short self-check at the end of this page.
We'll go through the exams, English-language requirements and documents that are likely to apply to your pathway, and show you where to confirm the details. Requirements change, so the regulator's current guidance always has the final word.
No. Regulators decide registration and exam outcomes, employers decide who they hire, and the Home Office decides visas. We help you understand the requirements and prepare for them.
No. NHMi is a UK-based healthcare mobility consultancy. We don't place people with employers or promise job offers. We help you understand your own pathway and plan your next steps.
Not in this session. We tell you which documents to gather and may point out anything that needs checking, but we don't authenticate or verify them. If you need immigration advice, it must come from an appropriately authorised adviser.
Your qualification details, the country and institution where you trained, your registration status and experience, any English-language or exam results, and your questions. Share documents only through NHMi's own channels, and never send originals.
