“What will the future of UK residency training look like for IMGs and British citizens studying medicine abroad?” 👇
A very important discussion currently taking place across UK medicine. A pleasure meeting Professor Mumtaz Patel at Medicine2026 at Royal College of Physicians and discussing the evolving future of postgraduate medical training, workforce planning, and opportunities for International Medical Graduates.
With increasing competition ratios and ongoing discussions around training prioritisation, many aspiring doctors are understandably thinking carefully about their future pathways into UK residency training.
For IMGs and British students studying abroad, this is a reminder to stay informed, focused, adaptable, and proactive in career planning.
The coming years may bring important developments in how training access and workforce needs are balanced within the NHS.
A valuable and insightful conversation — and encouraging to see these topics being openly discussed.”
