Aims: International Medical Graduates (IMGs) make up more than half of new recruits in the NHS and recent data shows that there is an increased likelihood of IMGs being referred to the General Medical Council (GMC) for fitness to practice investigations. Analysis of these complaints highlighted communication skills as an area of concern. We wanted to support relatively new IMGs, who started practicing in the country within the last 2 years, by enhancing their communication skills.
