The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain, is a sovereign country in Europe, off the north-western coast of the continental mainland.
The UK comprises England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland
The United Kingdom includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland, and many smaller islands within the British Isles. Northern Ireland shares a land border with the Republic of Ireland; otherwise, the United Kingdom is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea and the Irish Sea. The total area of the United Kingdom is 93,628 square miles (242,500 km2), with an estimated 2020 population of more than 67 million people and offers a unique blend of both history and culture.
The country offers an exceptionally high standard of living, political stability, and safety from natural disasters. A land rich in heritage, the UK has it all. Bustling metropolitan cities, stunning rural scenery, and over 7,000 miles of naturally beautiful coastline all combined to make this nation a real draw for healthcare professionals seeking an exciting new life.
Steeped in history, the UK offers the perfect mix of vibrant, modern cities and a wealth of countryside landscapes – from the snowy mountain ranges in Scotland and the rolling Oxford countryside to the sandy shores of the West Country.
