Life in Canada

Falling in LOVE with Vancouver

Thinking of Moving to Canada as a UK GP? Discover Life in Vancouver!

Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to live and work as a GP in Canada? In the latest episode of our podcast, Thomas sits down with Lee, who has spent many months in Vancouver, to talk all things lifestyle, medicine, and making a big international move.

Whether you’re seriously considering relocating or just daydreaming about new horizons, this episode offers a firsthand look at what life could be like across the Atlantic.

Why Vancouver?

Vancouver is one of Canada’s most desirable cities, and for good reason. It’s rare to find a place where you can go from a morning walk on the beach to an afternoon ski trip in the mountains, all within a single day. The city offers a blend of urban convenience, natural beauty, and a laid-back lifestyle that many UK doctors find incredibly appealing.

From its mild climate and multicultural communities to excellent schools and healthcare infrastructure, Vancouver has a lot to offer both personally and professionally. For GPs, it’s not just about the scenery, it’s also about opportunity.

Lee’s Story

Lee shares what he loves most about life in Vancouver, from the access to nature, to the slower pace of life, and the strong sense of community. He offers valuable insights into what to expect and why he believes more UK doctors should consider the move.

Is Canada Right for You?

If you’re a UK GP contemplating life outside the NHS, Canada, and Vancouver in particular, might be worth a closer look.

The combination of lifestyle benefits, professional autonomy, and opportunities for career growth makes this an increasingly attractive destination.

This podcast episode is packed with useful information and honest reflections. We hope that this can help guide your decision-making process.

Whether you’re in the early stages of exploring your options or actively preparing for a move, Lee provides a practical and inspiring point of reference.
