The PLAB test is the main route by which International Medical Graduates (IMGs) demonstrate that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to practise medicine in the UK.



You will need to pass the PLAB test before you can apply for registration with a licence to practise if you meet the following criteria:

You are a national of a country outside the UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland who graduated from a medical school outside the UK

OR you are a UK national who has graduated from a medical school outside the UK, EEA or Switzerland:

AND you do not have EC rights

AND you are not sponsored under an arrangement approved by the GMC

OR you do not hold an approved postgraduate qualification

OR you are not a trained GP or specialist

It is designed to test your ability to practise medicine safely in a UK hospital. The level is set at the knowledge and skills relating to conditions commonly seen by trainees entering the second year of the Foundation Programme, the management of life-threatening situations and rarer, but important, medical problems. This means that UK-trained doctors and international medical graduates (IMGs) are expected to have the same level of knowledge and skills at this stage of their career.
