Allocation Assist Middle East was founded by Emilie Davies in 2015, after she recognised a gap in the market for assisting highly skilled Western-trained doctors to find rewarding and fulfilling opportunities in top-tier hospitals in the UAE and other Gulf countries. We are now the fastest growing medical consulting company in the Middle East, having helped hundreds of senior consultant doctors from various specialties and backgrounds advance their careers and lifestyle while contributing to the dynamic and growing healthcare sector in this progressive and dynamic region of the world. The inspiration behind Allocation Assist Middle East Emilie was working as a nurse in the UK’s National Health Service when she first had the idea to start the business, her healthcare background has provided valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in the medical sector. Initially, Emilie sought to find a nursing role that would enable her to relocate to Dubai. She felt drawn towards Dubai from the moment she first visited, inspired by the positivity and vibrancy of the city driven by the vision and foresight of the UAE’s rulers. However, during her job search experience, Emilie recognised the need for high quality information and assistance for medical professionals seeking to relocate to the UAE, and this became the inspiration for Allocation Assist Middle East. What sets Allocation Assist Middle East apart? Allocation Assist Middle East provides a very niche, personalized service for high caliber, Western-trained doctors, mostly from the UK and Europe, connecting them with the top hospitals in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Over many years, we have gained expertise and insight into the complex healthcare and medical recruitment sectors in the Gulf region. Allocation Assist has a well-established network of trusted relationships with the most reputed and respected hospitals in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with plans to expand to other Gulf countries in the future. Allocation Assist’s growing team are available to provide doctors with comprehensive support and advice at every step, from their initial inquiry, through the licensing, application and interview processes, to contract negotiations, and beyond. Allocation Assist has established a reputation for integrity and reliability. Our success comes from delivering for our clients and it is always rewarding to receive great feedback from our satisfied clients. Allocation Assist’s strength lies in making connections and building relationships. We now have a large community of hundreds of doctors who we have helped relocate to the UAE who we regularly keep in touch with and invite to social and networking events.

I am extremely happy with my experience with Allocation Assist!
From the very beginning, the team has been professional, supportive and always willing to help throughout the DHA examination process.
I would especially like to thank Mohammed for his kindness, patience, encouragement and continuous support. He has always been available to answer my questions and guide me through every step.
After many years of working as a surgeon in Europe, taking this new step in my professional career was a big decision, and having such a supportive team made the process much easier.
I am delighted to have successfully passed my DHA exam, and I look forward to the next stage of my journey in Dubai.
Thank you, Mohammed, and the entire Allocation Assist team! I truly appreciate everything you have done for me. Highly recommended!
I worked with Allocation Assist for my job finding
I worked with Allocation Assist for my licensing process and job search as a radiology professional in Dubai. Their communication was clear and prompt throughout, and their knowledge of the process made a complicated journey much easier to follow. I felt supported at every step.
Special thanks to Mohamed Othman Mohammed Siddig and Rodaina Thabit for their help and responsiveness, and to Emilie Davies for her support along the way. I'm happy with my experience and would recommend Allocation Assist to other healthcare professionals looking to work in the UAE
Thank you All(ocation Assist)
I just want to say a big THANK YOU for all your services to facilitate my move to Dubai. In hindsight, i feel i would have struggled with the paperwork let alone finding the right job to suit my profile. It was a very smooth process right from the first meeting, CV preparation, introduction to hospitals, HR processes and DHA registration. Emilie and team, you are doing a fantastic job, really appreciate it.
Amazing !
I can't recommend Allocation Assist highly enough. This is a company you can truly trust and rely on: one that consistently keeps its promises and follows through on every commitment, big or small. What really stands out is the licensing team: they're not just skilled and deeply knowledgeable about their work, but genuinely wonderful people to work with. Even when administrative hurdles get complicated or things don't go smoothly, they never give up, they find a way through and always honor their word in the end. It's rare to come across a team this dedicated. I'm especially grateful to Siddig, who has been amazing every step of the way.
All the team members go above and beyond to support doctors in every possible way, and it truly shows in everything they do.
The whole experience went fast and trustfull!
The whole experience went fast and efficient. I got a quick and reliable support throughout the whole process from Allocationassist team. I am thankfull for Violet Wiyfengda for her good collaboration!
€5,014 paid, nothing delivered — and personal attacks in response to a documented complaint
For context: this is a reply to a message from Allocation Assist responding to my review. That message was removed by Trustpilot for violating their guidelines on threats and abusive content.
Your message contains a fabricated claim and a documented contradiction. I’ll address both.
First, the fabrication: I have never pursued legal action against you in the UAE. That claim is invented. What I did pursue was formal complaints through the appropriate channels my bank, the Banco de España, MOHRE, DMCC, and consumer protection bodies and those channels have, in principle, acknowledged the claim as legitimate. I did not pursue UAE legal proceedings, not because the claim is wrong, but because such proceedings are time-consuming and expensive, disproportionately so relative to the amount owed. You know that. It is designed that way, and it is precisely what lets a company take money from candidates with little practical risk of ever having to return it. Inventing a failed lawsuit that never happened, to imply my claim was tested and lost, is not a defence it is itself the kind of conduct that damages your credibility with anyone reading this thread, including a regulator.
Second, the pattern this fits: a representative told me by phone that a refund was being processed. It never arrived. Your team called me in April, again by phone, to ask me to work with you again, and told me directly that you do not issue refunds. Now, in writing, you say you ‘remain open to resolving this matter amicably.’ Three different positions, and the one constant is that whatever is said verbally does not survive contact with a written record. That gap between what is spoken and what is put in writing is not incidental it is precisely the pattern that defines how this company operates, and it is why nothing further will be discussed off the record.
Third, on ‘harassment’ and ‘defamation’: repeating those words does not make them true. Defamation requires a false statement of fact. Every fact in my public account is documented the amount paid, the licensing officer who walked off my case, the unauthorised referral outside the agreed jurisdiction, and the regulators I have engaged with. You have not identified a single inaccuracy in over a year.
Fourth, on the repeated threat to report me to my hospital’s CEO and the IMC: neither will treat a documented consumer dispute as professional misconduct. A vindictive pattern of retaliation against a customer who raised a legitimate, regulator-acknowledged complaint will be recognised for what it is, and dismissed on that basis alone. Institutions operating under the rule of law exist to protect professionals from exactly this kind of pressure, not to punish them for it. That threat has now been repeated multiple times over more than a year and never once acted on, and I expect that to continue for the same reason.
There is one outstanding matter between us: €5,014 paid for services that were contractually promised and never delivered. That will be discussed in writing, not on a call. When it is resolved, the record will reflect that. Until then, it will not.
Beyond that, I have no further interest in what you do with your company. I’m not writing this to change your conduct. I’m writing it so that anyone considering paying you money can do their own due diligence and see the full record before they do.
Excellent support from a team with…

Professional company you can rely on

My licensing process was not easy at all. At times I felt really frustrated and hopeless but the continuous assistance from Josewin was very important to finally achieve my licence. I definitely couldn’t have done it without his help and the expertise of the licensing team.
