Doctors in Ireland
MedStar can help Irish doctors in multiple ways. Right from guiding through the GMC Registration, to planning your journey, to helping with accommodation arrangement, to finding the suitable job or clinical attachment or information about transport, etc. We can help you with all this and much more. The majority of the time we can find a job or a clinical attachment for you even before you arrive here. Additionally, in select cases we can arrange transfers from the airport. MedStar can save you real hassle and give you a peace of mind. Speaking English can be challenging for any doctor who doesn't have English a first language. Whereas, spoken and written English is not a problem in Irish doctors, the overseas immigrants in Ireland may desire to sharpen their English language skills further. We can therefore help these doctors in gaining command over the English language, if that's required.

Some useful links for Doctors
Ireland is an island separated from Great Britain by the North Channel, the Irish Sea and St George’s Channel. It is the third-largest island in Europe and the twentieth largest on Earth. Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland) and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom.
A report by the Irish Post in July 2015 states that Irish doctors are among the highest paid in the world. The OECD released data showing that doctors earned on average €164,494 in 2014. The Irish earn one of the highest figures internationally, and ranks just behind Australia and Luxembourg. However, Ireland currently has the highest number of doctors working abroad with 47.5% of their doctors outside the country. Reasons for this include a better work-life balance available abroad, excessive working hours and an uncertain career pathway. The UK is one of the most appealing destinations for Irish doctors as the UK addresses the above issues better. Irish doctors are extremely hard working and are therefore very well received in the UK.
