Those who practice medicine abroad, how often do you see family / friends?

I’m on the verge of going through the process of making the move abroad however what is putting me off is the idea of leaving my immediate family living in the UK (parents) otherwise I have no other ties.

I would like to know those who jumped ship how do you manage with seeing family and friends? Do you have enough annual leave throughout the year to make the trip back to the UK often?
