What after FRCR?
Once you have completed the FRCR, you may be eligible to work in the UK as a radiologist, subject to certain requirements. To work as a doctor in the UK, you will need to be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC), which is the regulatory body for medical professionals in the UK. You will need to have your qualification verified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) through their online system – known as the Electronic Portfolio of International Credentials (EPIC). They will check directly with the institution that awarded your qualification. This process normally takes less than 90 days, but can take longer if your awarding institution is slow to respond.
Enrollment into the GMC Specialist Register
To work as an NHS consultant (substantive/permanent, honorary or fixed term) you must be registered on the GMC’s Specialist Register. This process can take several months to complete. Information on routes to GMC registration for radiologists can be found on the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) website.
If you have not completed an approved training programme you may be able to apply through ‘specialty equivalence’ for a Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR). If you are a national of the European Economic Area (EEA) and have certain specialist qualifications from the EEA you might be eligible for automatic recognition of your qualifications.
Getting a work visa
If you are not a UK or European Economic Area (EEA) citizen, you might need a visa to work in the UK. If you are offered a job in the UK, your employer will normally be able to help you with this. Information about UK visas and immigration are provided on the UK Government website:
– UK visas and immigration
Proficiency in the English language
