International Applicants: Working at MFT - All Here For You
At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), we’re proud to be a GMC‑approved sponsoring body – meaning we can support overseas doctors to gain GMC registration and begin their training and development journey here in the UK.
A Supported, Supportive Pathway for International Doctors
Through the Manchester International Fellowship Scheme, we welcome talented doctors from outside the UK and EU to join us for a fixed period of high‑quality training. With tailored supervision, teaching, and extensive clinical exposure, you’ll gain the skills, knowledge and experience you need to take back to your home country – strengthening healthcare beyond our borders.

As an International Training Fellow, you’ll have opportunities to be actively involved in:
Teaching and training
Quality improvement projects
Research and audit
A broad range of clinical experiences across our hospitals and services
You’ll work alongside expert teams within one of the UK’s largest and most diverse NHS Trusts, gaining insight into advanced clinical practice, multidisciplinary teamwork, and innovative models of care.
Specialised Support to Help You Settle and Succeed
We understand that relocating to the UK is a significant transition – and we’re All Here For You throughout your first two years.
We offer enhanced support including:
- A comprehensive induction tailored for international doctors
- A dedicated supervisor to guide your development
