Hello!
Congrats in making the decision! I'm not sure where you are in the UK but if your near London, there is an EXPO there in march (working in events).
inwent to one a few years back in Leeds which helped us massively as their where agents there to talk to, we spoke a number of times with migration planners who were helpful and answered all questions. Since then we went our own way and have done everything outsells which has been very long winded. My hubby has 15 years experience as a chef but the qualification he held didn't compare so we had to pay to get an australian qualification equivalent which took a while but has been granted!
We we visited another EXPO in manchester last weekend for the main info on banks, movers etc and there were a few nursing stalls, one of which was a Western Australia government stall for nurses/doctors who help with visa sponsorship and information, other were nurse agency's as well as a few agents who were giving out advise, migration planners were there again along with Santa fee who seemed very popular... May be worth while contacting for a chat and see what they advise maybe?
