NHS CV Review Service for Doctors and IMGs (£35)
Updated: 20 hours ago
If you're an international doctor applying for NHS posts and not getting shortlisted, the CV is often part of the problem. NHS shortlisters read a CV quickly and look for specific things: GMC status, the grade you've worked at, recent clinical experience, ALS, audit, teaching and how it all lines up with the person specification. A CV written for another health system usually buries those details.
Our NHS CV review service for doctors fixes that. We review your CV against the posts you're applying for, rewrite it in a clear NHS format, and write two supporting statements for jobs you choose. It's one fixed price of £35 and everything is done by email.
Quick answer: CareerPro UK offers an NHS CV review and rewrite for doctors and IMGs for £35. You send your current CV and the job adverts you're interested in. We review and restructure your CV for NHS applications, write two supporting statements for posts you choose, and give you guidance on adapting your application to future person specifications.
What you get for £35
A full CV review: clinical experience, qualifications, employment history, skills, achievements, audit and teaching, with clear notes on what to change.
A professional CV rewrite: restructured so your strengths are easy to find, in the order and format NHS shortlisters expect.
Two supporting statements: written for two NHS posts you choose, based on each role's person specification.
Guidance for future applications: how to adapt your CV and statement to each new job description, so you aren't starting from scratch every time.
There are no hidden extras. If you only want the CV checked, the price is the same, and the supporting statements are included anyway.
What we look for in an NHS doctor's CV
These are the things we check on every CV, because they're what NHS shortlisters check:
Section | What we check |
Personal details | GMC number and registration status, licence status, right to work or visa route, contact details |
Profile | A short, specific summary of your grade, specialty and what you're looking for, not a generic objective |
Qualifications | Primary medical degree, internship, postgraduate exams (PLAB, MRCP, MRCS, MRCEM and others), ALS and other courses with dates |
Clinical experience | Each post with dates, grade described in NHS terms (for example "equivalent to FY2"), specialty, on-call and key responsibilities |
Audit and quality improvement | Title, your role, the standard used and what changed |
Teaching | Who you taught, how often, and any feedback |
Research and publications | Posters, papers and presentations in a consistent format |
Leadership and management | Rota work, committee roles, organising teaching or projects |
CPD | Relevant courses with dates, especially ones that match the person specification |
Gaps and clinical attachments | Career gaps explained briefly and honestly; UK clinical attachments described as attachments |
We also check length, layout, spelling and consistency. Most NHS doctor CVs work best at two to four pages.
Who this service is for
International medical graduates applying for their first NHS job
Doctors applying for junior clinical fellow, clinical fellow, trust grade, specialty doctor or similar non-training posts
Doctors who have applied through Trac or NHS Jobs and haven't been shortlisted
Doctors outside the UK who want their CV ready before they arrive
How it works
Email your current CV and the job adverts or person specifications you're interested in to cvreviewexperts@gmail.com.
We tell you which person specification criteria your CV and application don't yet show clearly.
We review and rewrite your CV, write two supporting statements for the posts you choose, and email everything back with guidance for future applications.
You check that every word is true for you, then use it in your applications.
Everything is by email, so you can use the service from any country.
What we don't do
We don't add experience, exams or courses you haven't done. Everything in your CV must be accurate, and shortlisters and referees will check.
We can't guarantee shortlisting. Decisions are made by employers. What we do is make sure your real experience is presented clearly against what they're looking for.
We're independent and not linked to the NHS or the GMC.
