    I graduated in the year 2019
    2019-2020 worked in a private hospital
    From 2020 to 2022- I had a huge gap due to Covid , plus I was doing government health camps and helping out in private clinic under mentorship
    1) Will my 2 year gap will affect me in finding a job in NHS?
    2) Will my achivements after my internship can be of any positive view of getting a job in NHS?

    In my country the medical institution give a MD degree and We don't have an internship certificate. Even if they give they will not mention all details as the GMC needs.
    What can we do as a proof of internship experience.
    Is a working experience as a general practionner can be use as an internship evidence??
