Hei hei 
I'm a 24 year old Scottish hospital doctor and am planning to move to Oslo in August to be with my Norwegian partner. I graduated from Glasgow University in 2011 and have worked for nearly two years now as a junior doctor and have held my full registration since August 2012. My main passion in medicine in Intensive Care and Critical Care; this is where I hope to be working in the long run!
I'm learning Norwegian from a good Ebook ( that I would recommend) for the iPad, and am in Norway almost every two weeks - however every Norwegians excellent English tends to make me lazy! But I'm looking to do a course in Edinburgh university from April to help me learn better!
I wonder if anyone has any advise on jobs within Oslo for someone like me. I'm very interested in doing academic or research work also- as it's a massive part of a medical career these days and something I've always been keen to do to be honest! (Plus would ease me into the language in a medical environment)
I'm willing to do most jobs over the next year that are medically based to be relevant to my career but also help me settle in. I don't care for a large salary but as you will all appreciate living in Oslo is not cheap! (But luckily I am not living alone so my expenses are reduced significantly )
I would very keen to hear back from people
Thanks in advance!

Thank aurelie I have taken your advise David I have messaged you back your help has been amazing!! Rohitash where do you come from? because as far as I believe if you are from an EU country you can stay for 90 days (and appear at a local police station to inform them of your arrival) then by 90 days must apply for a permanent visa- ie with a job offer or for whatever reason you wish to be in Norway. What brings you to Norway? I think this site is absolutely great for people wishing to move over
