Fitness to Practise (FTP) Performance Assessments

The performance assessments are conducted in our Clinical Assessment Centre (CAC) in Manchester. There may be an exceptional requirement to hold an assessment elsewhere in the UK and the supplier must be able to accommodate this. The assessments will include OSCE stations and / or a simulated surgery. Validation events are held at a number of different locations.
Renewal: 2 x 12 month extensions
Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board (PLAB) Part 2 ExamPLAB Part 2 is for International Medical Graduates. The exam is run in our Clinical Assessment Centre (CAC) located in Manchester. We may, on occasion, need to deliver the exam at alternative locations in the UK and the supplier will be able to demonstrate they can meet this requirement should the need arise.
