Xray tech in a different country

Hey I currently reside in the USA and i recieved my lisencure here, but I am interested in permanently relocating to a different country. I am curious as to what reciprocity is like for both limited techs and RT's.

I've searched my eyeballs out and I cant find the answer to my question. Can someone certified in the USA be an xray tech in the UK? or anywhere for that matter. Or who would be the best to call to find this information out.

Thanks

Training and certification in the UK is vastly different than the US.

There are no opportunities for 'limited' technicians (BMO, LMXO) in the UK.

Requirements in the UK are stringent. For more information regarding Radiography in the UK, look here:
