Yes Please do elaborate as i have worked in the Banking/Finance sector for 7 years now and am looking to get to Scotland, preferably Edinburgh.  Would like to transfer with my current company but we dont have many branches in the area that i want to be in work wise.
So any extra help on information would be great

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Scotland is part of the United Kingdom and all Immigration matters are dealt with centrally.  The UK Government website lists all of the possible work visas, this link will take you to it.

To qualify for a Health and Care Worker visa, you will need to "be a qualified doctor, nurse, health professional or adult social care professional".  If you are one of those, then go to the NHS website, this link will take you straight to the relevant section for Overseas health professionals; further down the bottom of that webpage are links to the relevant healthcare professions where you can get further advice.

Once you've read the links I've provided, if you have any further specific questions, then please come back to us.

Hope this helps.
