Health professionals who want to maintain their registration while abroad with their serving partner or spouse have a new resource to answer their questions.
Step into Health’s new FAQ page provides information and practical advice from different regulatory bodies to help you keep your credentials up to date during your overseas assignment and revalidate your status when you return to the UK.
You can also sign up for a webinar on 26 March at 10am when experts will be on hand to answer direct questions.
AFF Employment & Training Specialist Lucy Ritchie welcomed the guide. “It’s fantastic that Step into Health engaged with the families federations when we raised the issues caused by the lack of clear information for spouses and partners looking to maintain or revalidate registration as health professionals while posted abroad.
“I really hope that these FAQs will enable military partners in the health profession to maintain their registration during overseas postings, and so overcome some of the barriers that exist when accompanying the serving person.”
Step into Health helps members of the Forces community and veterans connect with NHS employers for training opportunities, clinical and general work placements and offers a dedicated pathway to a career in the NHS. For more information, see militarystepintohealth.nhs.uk
