What experience do you have and have you registered with the NMC?

Things are very tough in the UK with high unemployment and to get a work permit you need to meet the shortage occupation list.

I am able to get an ancestry visa, which allows me to live and work in the UK for five years, so that's no problem

You will need to register with the NMC

www.nmc-uk.org

Your best bet then is to look at the NHS jobs website,
