Pathway overview
For qualified doctors, nurses, health professionals, and adult social care professionals with a job offer in an eligible health or social care role.
Verified directly from GOV.UK: you must be a qualified doctor, nurse, health professional, or adult social care professional working in an eligible health or social care job, hold a certificate of sponsorship from a UK employer approved by the Home Office, speak, read, write and understand English to at least CEFR level B2, and have enough personal savings to support yourself. Salary rules mirror the Skilled Worker visa's own job-dependent minimums — not modeled as a single numeric threshold here.
