Intro

haven't worked in KFMCR but its definitely one of the best govt hospitals in kingdom..  only KFSHR is rated above it. and although Saudis are not v polite when it comes to rehab but still i am sure it would be your best time here. have few specialists there of Pakistani origin as internist who i know and they rated hospital good enough although patient load is also heavy ! Are u fellow of royal college of Edinburgh too?? welcome to kingdom !!!
P.S yeah jarir got good offers all the time

Thanks DrHassanMalik, I have done FCPS in orthopaedics and  FRCS from Ireland + Postgraduate Diploma from Southampton university.

I hope i dont get scathed for this, but i hear along the grapevine that if you are born, bred and raised in the UK, but of asian/indian/pakistani/bengali origin, then you will not be favoured upon in the hospitals as are the 'indigenous english' white people working at the hospitals

disclaimer; this is what i hear from British born n bred people working in hospitals in Riyadh. Even still, apparently they are the lucky ones as they managed to even get a job there, as 'indigenous english' white people are more favoured for the roles then non-white British born n bred

@londoner1, I'll update you once i receive an offer. I have also heard about discremination based on skin colour.

well the discrimination does exist but only up to the level of pay what you will get.. in that too it depends more on the passport you posses and not on the skin color.. also on the institution it depends a lot e.g a fellow of royal college of surgeons, Edinburgh would certainly be payed more than the fellow of royal college of surgeons, Ireland/Dublin. so its not fair enough to pin point it towards skin color only.. if you are a Brit born doc with no good experience\qualifications then you can never grab a high post..

btw its strange that they considered your dip for rehab rather tan your expertise in orthopedics.. saudis!

@DrHassanMalik, I have completed training in rehabilitation medicine with award of CCT and on GMC specialist register for rehabilitation medicine. Also my current employment is as consultant in rehabilitation medicine. I gave up orthopaedics 8 yrs ago but it is helping me alot with musculo-skeletal rehabilitation.
