British Medical Courses

At British Medical Courses, we’re working toward a future where every medical graduate, NHS doctor, nurse, paramedic, and non-trainee clinician—particularly those in Emergency Medicine and across the wider NHS—has the skills, confidence, and support they need to excel and deliver exceptional patient care.

International Medical Graduates (IMGs) and non-trainee doctors form the backbone of the UK’s healthcare system. The General Medical Council (GMC) reported that in 2022 alone, over 42% of new additions to the UK medical register were IMGs. Today, more than a third of all licensed UK doctors trained overseas, with the proportion even higher in Emergency Medicine. These clinicians are filling critical gaps in an overstretched system, yet their journey is often more challenging than it should be.

Too many face barriers such as:

• Limited access to structured training and supervision

• Minimal guidance on local clinical protocols

• No dedicated funding for professional development
