Dear friends
I am 45 yrs old physician, NHS consultant in UK and has 5 years of experience as a consultant with FRCP etc etc in UK.
I came to uk after completion of my postgraduate degree in india MD medicine etc. in 1998 and then worked in different capacities and trained in medicine & subspeciality before acheiving CCT & then consultant post. In the Uk the job is with appropriate increments, pension etc.
I am trying to relocate to Singapore to be closer to my home (kerala,india) especially with my elderly parents , asian culture, but with a work atmosphere similar to UK.
One of the hospitals in singapore appears to be interested in me (through an agent whos very helpful) & organising an interview.
I have not been to singapore though i have heard its very cosmopolitan & working standards are similar to UK.
Unfortunately my knowledge ends there.
I have 2 children aged 11 & 15.
My wife has done her masters in Economics but predominantly works in the NHS in audit department / administrative clerk.
I was hoping some of you would help me out with some of my queries !
what is the correct salary to ask?
what are the main expenditure/ outgo in singapore?
i am a bit concerned about my childrens education?
Do hospitals in singapore organise a site visit?
what to ask the hospital in interview?
any advice would be gratefully received & will keep this forum updated
regards

Re: Advice for A doctor job please !
My wife recently moved to Singapore from working in the NHS, albeit as a dietitian, not a doctor.koshynita wrote: I am trying to relocate to Singapore to be closer to my home (kerala,india) especially with my elderly parents , asian culture, but with a work atmosphere similar to UK.
The one thing I've noticed is that there is a massive difference in working culture between the two countries - there does appear to be an expectation that you work longer hours and occassional weekends compared to the UK.

what is the correct salary to ask? Can't help there at all
what are the main expenditure/ outgo in singapore? Housing, cars (expensive), and schooling for kids. Eating can be as well, if you have a exquisite palate and like fine dining regularly.
i am a bit concerned about my childrens education? Rightly so. Do a search of theses forums as there are numerous discussions on that very topic.
Do hospitals in singapore organise a site visit? Unknown
what to ask the hospital in interview? Not a doc, so wouldn't have a clue.
any advice would be gratefully received & will keep this forum updated
