"Moving away from my home town in Nigeria was emotionally tough, as well as practically very demanding. I contacted International Staffing Solutions after deciding I wanted to move to the UK to pursue a slightly different pathway in medicine, and was pleasantly surprised at how much they took off my hands. It was a pleasant surprise."

"I worked in obs and gynae for 10 years in South Africa. After meeting my husband I knew I wanted to relocate with him to the UK, which is where he is from, but thought it would be very hard. It was hard but made easier thanks to International Staffing Solutions. I now work at a London private hospital and love my job. Thank you so much."
