This is my first search in the internet for residencies so i can say that i know nothing about it.
I want to know how can i see which hospitals in uk can offer the residency that i want?
Any site so that i can find more information about residency in uk?
😀
 
Doesn't work that way.
A new grad finds a PRHO post, usually two jobs applied for individually- six months in surgery and six months in medicine.
Then, with a good idea of where your interest lies, you apply for individual jobs for the next two to three years in six month segments. If you were interested in cardiology, for example, you'd complete a couple of years of general medicine, do maybe another year of subspecialties and write your MRCP. Then you'd bide your time till you got a National Training Certificate. Once you got that (no guarantee you'll get it), you'll spend the next four to six years training in cardiology. You might spend another two years getting an MD (postgraduate research degree), then bide your time till you get a consultancy.
It is a very complicated system. Look at bmj.com for some advice.
