The UK offers healthcare professionals a Health and Care Worker visa, which is fast-tracked, affordable, and includes family members. Professionals need a job offer from an NHS employer or care provider and registration with UK bodies like the NMC or GMC. No immigration cap applies to these roles, and visa holders may apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after 5 years, followed by UK citizenship if eligible.
