Case Study
Testimonials
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Apollo for their tremendous support from the beginning. They guided me through every step, from the hospital recruitment interview to boarding. Apollo's professionalism and deep understanding of the NHS system, along with their induction and ALS programmes, boosted my confidence and knowledge.
Dr. Ali Hossain
In 2022, after several unsuccessful NHS interviews, I felt desperate. Mr. Mrunal's unwavering support and encouragement gave me the courage to continue. He trained me for interviews, stood by me daily, and helped me find accommodation. Even a year later, I consider him my backbone. He truly changed my life and set me on a new career path.
Dr. Hesham Marzouk
I am grateful to Apollo for accompanying me on this remarkable journey. My journey began in December 2022, and within a short span, I found myself here in the UK by March 2023. Your support and commitment have been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for the guidance & assistance provided every step of the way.
