ⓘ Foundation Stage Notice: IMG Union is currently in the process of formal registration with the Certification Officer of Great Britain as an official trade union. During this period, membership is completely free of charge and full services — including legal representation and casework — are on hold until registration is complete. We are committed to full transparency with our members throughout this process.

Our Story

About IMG Union

A union built by International Medical Graduates, for International Medical Graduates — because nobody should fight for equality alone.

A Union Built on Support & Solidarity

IMG Union was created because International Medical Graduates across the NHS deserve a dedicated voice that truly represents them. Many IMGs face challenges in the workplace that go unaddressed — and we believe every IMG deserves proper support and fair treatment.

We are currently in our foundation stage, building the structures and support networks that will make IMG Union a lasting force for positive change. Every IMG who joins helps us grow our collective voice and advocate more effectively for the profession.
