New International Medical Graduate Hub

Launching the new International Medical Graduate Digital Resource Hub

We’re delighted to share the launch of Scotland’s new IMG Digital Hub — a national, one-stop resource designed to support IMG doctors, their trainers and supervisors, and their employers and managers, wherever they work in NHS Scotland.

The Hub brings together clear guidance, regional health board information, wellbeing and ongoing support, and a growing library of resources for supervisors, employers and medical teams. By collating IMG support resources from a wide range of organisations into one central location, we aim to foster the sharing of good practice, enabling a culture of continuous improvement, and promote consistent, high-quality support across Scotland.

We hope you’ll explore the Hub, share it with colleagues and new starters, and let us know what else would help as we continue to develop this resource.

Discover the range of resources including:

IMG doctors resources

Resources designed for IMG doctors working in Scotland - including those in specialty training, Clinical Fellow roles, SAS grades, Consultant posts, or GP positions.

Resources for IMG doctors include starting your career in NHS Scotland as well as resources from Royal Colleges, the GMC, and the medical defence unions.

Ongoing support for wellbeing and developing your career

Support for trainers, supervisors, employers and managers - supporting IMGs to thrive and strategic management resources

This resource page is designed to support those working with IMG doctors - whether you're a Trainer, Supervisor, Employer or Manager.

We’ve centralised information from NHS Scotland Health Boards to support IMGs joining a health board and to support shared learning in developing IMG resources and induction:

We want every IMG doctor to feel welcomed, valued, and recognised for the skills and experience they bring to NHS Scotland. We hope this hub helps you guide and support your IMG colleagues throughout their journey.
