Notice Title

Secure Printing and Results Processing for Registration Exams

Notice Description

The assessment run by the GMC known as the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board ('PLAB') test is the main route by which doctors qualified outside the UK and European Economic Area (international medical graduates or 'IMGs') demonstrate that they have the knowledge and skills to practise in the UK. The test is set at the level expected of a doctor at the first day of a Foundation Year 2 appointment, which is normally one year after qualifying as a doctor. The test is in two Parts. At some point during the life of the contract the exam will be re-named and will become Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA) for international medical graduates.
