What employers look forFrom the Doctor / Private Physician guide
Owners and family offices hire doctors with at least five years post-qualification experience, usually in emergency medicine, general practice, anaesthetics or military medicine. Full registration with the GMC or an equivalent licensing body is essential, and you will be asked for current ALS and ATLS. Expedition or wilderness medicine qualifications help a great deal. Languages, calm manners and an ability to keep quiet matter as much as clinical skill. Expect NDAs, background checks and hiring through medical staffing firms or directly through the owner's office.
