Ah cool, well if all goes well i’A you can be working in just over a year.

The PLAB 1 dates for this year are 17th June, 8th September and 19th November. So you should really try and do the September one. If you don’t or if you fail, November will be your last chance for the F1 eligibility.
Plabtrainerhas courses in June-Aug for the September PLAB 1 exam. I would really recommend attending if you want to pass first time. You will also meet a lot of doctors in the same position as you. It’s been great for my husband, he’s made some good friends and has a good support network of other people going through the same thing.

Hi Stoppit ,

I have got a quick question :no:

I just got off the phone with GMC … So individuals get their full GMC registration after they have completed their Plab 2. I asked them , if a Pakistani candidate completes two year training from Pakistan ( achieving the SHO level training ) … Will they still have to do the foundation year 2? they said no , but they will have to work under the approved practive setting …

My question is training posts are damn hard to get onto … are approved practice settings also equally hard to do? .. i am thinking to advise my sister to start doing locums after achieving the GMC registration still not sure how she will manage visa wise… any options ?
