You'll have an additional test for hep b which is the viral load and you'll be referred to infectious doctor. They will check if your viral load is low and safe to practise as a nurse.

Hi bbbsss, yes it is required to have Hepatitis B screening here in the UK. But you can still work as a nurse here even if you are hepatitis b positive.

Yes I did. I'm currently working as nurse here in the UK. Immigration has nothing to do with your illness.

Yes you can.. As long as your hbv dna is below 10^3 genome equivalent/ml and you're not doing EPP or exposure prone procedures.

Hi qwerty, I also have the same dilemma with you. I just want to ask if you pursue your plan going to the UK. How was it going? Do you know if they accept applicants with Chronic Hepatitis b?
