We have the perfect solution for you! Join us on Saturday 13th November 2021 for the start of our PLAB 2 10-day course for doctors.
What does the course cover?
Our event will take you through the sixteen scenarios in addition to a mock scenario consultation or an acute ward.
The purpose of our course is to prepare you to demonstrate that you can confidently perform your competency to handle everything a trained UK doctor can expect to see on the first day of their foundation of year 2. Your ability to apply your existing knowledge to patients will also be reviewed and improved if needed.
What does the course include?
We provide you with ten days of in-person and online lectures to cover the following:
Data gathering, technical and assessment skills History taking, physical examination, practical procedures, investigations leading to a diagnosis.
Clinical management skills: Formulating a diagnosis, giving clear explanations to your patient formulating a management plan.
Interpersonal skills: Building rapport with the patient, using open and closed questioning, involving the patient and demonstrating your professionalism and understanding of ethical principles.
What happens during a mock exam?
The mock exams are held at our PLAB training centre in Central London. The centre is designed to be an exact simulation of the real exam and each room will be one based on the 16 stations that the doctor will need to complete, there are also two rest stations.
There will be patient information outside of each station and inside of the room, a trained actor will act as your patient. You will then need to complete the scenario within a time frame.
Our PLAB 2 10-day course will prepare you for the real exam by placing you in a simulated exam that is almost identical to the actual exam. You can purchase the tickets via Eventbrite or visit our Facebook page and make your purchase there.
