UK medical CV format — what to drop from my home country CV

Question

My old CV was 8 pages. UK consultant told me to cut to 2-3. What stays and what goes?

Drop the photo, date of birth, marital status, and religion. UK CVs are strictly professional. Keep it to 2 pages.

Add a short 'Professional Summary' at the top. Tailor it to the specialty. Use bullet points for achievements, not paragraphs.

Include your GMC number once you have it. For now, put 'GMC registration in progress' if you've already applied.
