1. What happens when I register with Impi Health?
Once you register with Impi Health, we will be your gateway to a vast network of agencies and employers.

2. Should I take a temporary (locum) position or a permanent position?
This depends on your personal situation. On the whole, you will earn more £/hr whilst working as a locum.

Tips for Health workers
Start your registration process with the HPC as soon as possible once you know you are going to seek employment in the UK.
Correspond with other friends/acquaintances who you know have successfully completed their registration. If you do not know any such person, feel free to contact us for a reference. In filling out the registration forms and supplying documents for the HPC, rather be too thorough than brief.
