Relaunching our PLAB 2 Courses


What is the PLAB 2 exam?

PLAB 2 is an objective structured clinical exam (OSCE). It's made up of 16 scenarios, each lasting eight minutes and aims to reflect real life settings including a mock consultation or an acute ward. The exam covers everything you would expect to see as an FY2 doctor.

How can IELTS Medical prepare me for the PLAB 2 exam?


We prepare you to demonstrate your competency to handle everything a UK trained doctor can expect to see on the first day of their Foundation Year 2. This includes the ability to apply your existing knowledge to care of your patients. 

In our state-of-the-art Central London PLAB Training Centre, each room is a one of the 16 stations you need to complete. There are also 2 rest stations. Outside each room is patient information and inside the room is a trained actor to play your patient. 

You will then need to complete your scenario against the clock. 

During your mock exam, you may be required to interact with a live actor or a simulated patient. In some rooms, you will find a telephone or video call station where the call is connected before you enter the room. 

In the physical examination stations, you will be assessed on your ability to conduct a physical examination on a mannikin. These include - but are not limited to - examination of the abdomen, breast, chest, hand, heart, joints, rectum or a bimanual vaginal examination. 

Throughout your mock exam, you will be provided with feedback about your interpersonal and communication skills in a range of scenarios and settings. We'll be looking out for your ability to: 

·         explain diagnoses, investigations and treatments

·         involve the patient in your decision-making

·         communicate with relatives

·         communicate with other healthcare professionals

Course fees start from £575.
