Many dentists consider the possibility of working in another country at some stage during their careers. Key points to consider include registration, contracts and keeping in touch with the UK.
Introduction to working abroad
When thinking about working professionally in another country, you must consider these fundamental questions:
- Are you eligible to register your qualifications? Every country has unique registration processes and requirements.
- Do you need to complete language proficiency tests or additional professional qualifications?
- What are the immigration rules you need to comply with?
Specific requirements can change, so make sure you verify current regulations with professional dental associations, government websites and dental regulatory bodies well before your departure date.
