@natalie_icmg: 12 years ago, I made the boldest decision of my life: I left my Band 8 NHS job and stepped into the unknown, moving to Dubai to chase what I could only dream of. My career has soared beyond anything I expected. I’ve worked alongside brilliant minds in world-class healthcare, helped shape national health standards, and even launched my own healthcare consultancy. But the real magic? Living in a safe, happy place with friends who’ve become family. Being able to give back to my loved ones with trips and opportunities an NHS salary could never afford. Traveling the world from the heart of the world’s most exciting hub. Meeting my life partner and building a family here. Dubai isn’t just a place, it’s a land of respect, opportunity, and love. Leaving everything behind was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m so glad I took the risk! #UKNurses #NurseBurnout #NHSReality #NurseSupport #DubaiNursingJobs #NurseInDubai #DubaiNurse #nhsnurse #NursingInDubai #DoctorInDubai #NHSDoctor #ExpatNurse @ICMG Licensing

I was there 25 years ago - nurses were generally treated poorly but paid well esp as its tax free. We did have to work a 48hr week tho which is exhausting. The other thing was that British nurses were treated better and paid much better than other nationalities. It was wrong and I couldn’t stay 😏

Dubai is a city with no Soul. Nice for a visit maybe once but that's it.

I am a band 8a NHS nurse practitioner in the UK also thinking about relocating in the future but don't know where yet. I think the negative posts come from people who are sad and miserable here in the UK but don't have the courage to move out because they are too scared, not brave enought and simply jealous of your success because you have made it work for you. Ignore the negative posts. Well done for stepping out of your comfort zone!!! wishing you all the best👌👌👏👏👏

if I wasn't tied to the UK cos of my children (I won't leave them, they leave me first!), then I'd be in Dubai in a heartbeat. I grew up in Jumeirah in the late 80's / early 90's, but also lived in Jebel Ali for a year when I was 19. loved every minute!

A lot of jealous people on here ! Maybe never had the guts to put themselves out there like that, so trash others that do 🤔 fair play to you for going for it 👌 from an exhausted NHS worker 🥰
