it will probably be recognized that you have the qualifications but more than likely you will have to take another test or exam of some sort as there are a few differences in the laws regarding practicalites when comparing UK to the US

Find a job in the U.K in your field of choice and move there. London is an excellent place to live and there are plenty of Americans that work and go to school there.  You can start looking for work and a flat or bedroom to rent online. Unlike in the states, jobs advertised online in the UK really are vacancies. There are several sites you can look to explore the UK job market. http://www.reed.co.uk http://www.totaljobs.com http://www.gumtree.com You can also chose to visit the UK first before you decide to move there. While on your visit, interview with employees and arrange for the necessary documentation you would need to work in the UK.

There is a massive nurse shortage in the UK.  If you became a nurse it would afford you much oppurtunity.  Many people leave the country if they can pay for it because there isn't enough nurses.  Nurses work all sorts of shift so you there would be a good chance that you could find one that fits you perfectly.  Also a nurse gets the chance to study different forms of medicine from working with old or very young to even learning the world of surgery and become a medical techinical field.  A paramedic does have its perks but I would sugguest becoming a nurse.  The choice is and always will be in your hands.  Good luck.

EMTs are Emergency Medical Technicians. They provide emergency care to sick and injured people in a pre-hospital environment. They work for private ambulance services, as county employees, on fire departments, and in hospitals. Youcan work on a voluntary basis or as a paid professional. It all depends on you and what you choose.\n\nWhen it comes to the education aspect of it, it varies. There are levels of EMT classification. Basic, Intermediate, and Paramedic. Basic class usually take around 6-9 months. Intermediate is about the same, however you will be building on skills you already have at the Basic level. Paramedic class takes between 1-2 years. 2 years if you want an Associates Degree. \n\nAs an EMT you will be certified at the state level which will be handled through the school where you take the class. Then you need to be nationally registered. This is the big test. You pay out of pocket for this one and it is non-refundable (100 bucks I think). Its tough but if you made it through the classes without alot of trouble then you'll be fine. If you don't pass the first time you can take it up to 3 times in a year I believe. check out the website www.NREMT.org.\n\nI have been an EMT for 3 years and it is very rewarding. I hope you choose to go for it. Its hard work but worth ALL the effort. Good luck!

I cannot imagine any US jurisdiction even contemplating such a situation. The local tax payers would not accept it.\nJust from a logistics standpoint, call takers and dispatchers need to be familiar with the geography served by their call center. Many law enforcement agencies have the electronic equivalent of a GPS for the officers' locations. How could somebody in another country effectively dispatch and manage officers?

Absolutely! My ex husband was an EMT, and he gets tested every 6 months. I would recommend you doing the same to be on the safe side!

All electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician in Europe(that's Britain as well) or checked out by an electrician to ensure that it is safe and meets European safety standards.This law was passed through the European parliament because of an alarming rise in deaths caused by uncertified electrics.\nSo basically get an electrician.

I wouldn't recommend you to try to UK as I have head that there are alot of dr.s on the waiting list. Plus, nowadays they are giving 1st preference to the nationals and then other nationalities.\nI'm not sure specifically about physiotherapists though.

Yes, though not from a mobile phone and I think you have to be in England (or Scotland, Wales or N. Ireland when you make the call.)

EMS We have a serious shortage of EMS in our large cities, they all offer on the job paid training, excellent benefits, and a lot of them are only on a couple days a week at full time pay. You work 24 hr shifts works out to like 8 days a month. Most cities start off with $40k in pay and you get early retirement. and with all those days off you can run a little side business like I do. I braid hair and sometimes drive a school bus. Not all EMS is field work you can get office stuff to, still on the job paid training.

Of course, the same way that an English degree is recognised in the USA.  Vocational qualifications may require that you take some kind of test in order to be sure that your knowledge is the same.  Law obviously is an entirely different matter as the UK and USA have different laws.

you can apply for other aspects of the job and if you really want to make an issue out of it...the physical automatically disqualifies Americans with disabilities...so it violates the Americans with disabilities act...you could take legal action against the force on the basis if you are refused...because there is plenty of desk work and research work for those of us who cant jog fifty miles.\ngenerally how ever you can apply in other aspects of the EMS field like 911 operator, and ambulance driver...As am ems worker my self the best advice i can give is to try to get in the shape you need, and if you get turned down and still want to pursue it fight for it.
