Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a female doctor had recalled her challenges after relocating to the UK.

She had moved to the UK to do a master's degree in public health, and she was hoping to work and study at the same time.

In a TikTok video, the lady, @_drcho, said that when she got to the UK, she had to be registered as a doctor before she could work. She said she had to first pass the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB 1) test, which is compulsory for non-UK-trained medical doctors who would like to practice in the country.
