Navigating UK Medical Practice: The GMC and PLAB Demystified


Navigating UK Medical Practice: The GMC and PLAB Demystified


Embarking on a medical career in the UK requires navigating through regulatory bodies like the General Medical Council (GMC) and the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB). The GMC oversees medical standards, while the PLAB assesses international medical graduates' proficiency.

 

 

 

The GMC regulates medical practice, setting educational standards and registering doctors. International medical graduates must adhere to GMC guidelines to practice in the UK. Crucially, passing the PLAB assessment is a key requirement. Administered by the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board, PLAB evaluates medical knowledge and English proficiency. PLAB 1 tests theoretical knowledge, while PLAB 2 assesses clinical skills.
