A consultant post in Australia, a hospital contract in the Gulf, a move to Ireland — we ship your household and personal effects from your UK door to your new posting, so the move is one less thing to manage alongside registration and a start date.
Relocating as a doctor usually means moving a whole home, often with family, and doing it around GMC good-standing, overseas medical registration and a contract start date. We’ve helped doctors and healthcare families relocate from the UK since 1998, and this page is everything we’d tell a colleague making the move.
Wherever your post takes you, we move luggage, boxes and full households from the UK:
Doctors are usually juggling GMC good-standing, an overseas registration process (the AMC in Australia, the Medical Council in Ireland, DHA/MOH in the Gulf), a visa and a contract start date. A full-household sea shipment takes weeks, so it needs planning.
Work backwards from your start date. Air freight is typically 4–10 working days if you need essentials quickly; sea freight for a full home runs to weeks — the average is anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks depending on destination and sailing dates, so allow a week or two either side. Tell us your start date and we’ll tell you when to book.
Tell us your destination and your timeline, and we’ll come back with a quote and a realistic transit-time estimate — before you commit to anything.
