NHS CV Template Pack for International Doctors

Copy-and-adapt NHS CV templates, evidence mapping worksheets and a final review checklist for international doctors applying to UK roles.

Your NHS CV is often the first thing a recruitment panel sees — and for many international doctors, it is also the first place things go wrong.

A strong NHS CV is not just a list of jobs. It needs to show clear evidence, relevant clinical experience, professionalism, communication skills, audit/QI, teaching, leadership and readiness for UK practice.

The NHS CV Template Pack for International Doctors gives you a structured way to build, review and improve your CV before you apply.

This pack helps you move from a generic medical CV to a clearer, more NHS-focused application document.

What’s included:

• CV readiness audit
• NHS CV structure guide
• Copy-and-adapt professional profile templates
• Clinical experience wording examples
• Audit, QI, teaching and leadership entry templates
• Person specification mapping matrix
• Evidence bank worksheets
• Strong wording bank for CV bullet points
• Common mistakes guide
• Final pre-submission checklist

Who this is for:

This resource is for international medical graduates applying for NHS trust-grade, clinical fellow, SHO-level, FY2-equivalent or first UK clinical roles.

It is especially useful if you are unsure how to translate your previous experience into language that feels relevant to NHS recruiters.
