Our pleasure!

[@mallickachatrath1533]

Thankyou! I’ve cleared my PLAB one and would be going for my PLAB two in September. Please do share some tips of how we may make the most of our clinical attachments. Also, is it true that if I do my attachment in psychiatry my options for getting a job in the UK reduces as preferences are given to medicine itself? I’ve this confusion. please find the time to clear it.. Thankyou so much once again

@@RoadToUKIs there a possibility that MRCP cancel its 6+1 attempts on each steps? Thanks.😊

[@Bekyx3]

Hi, I have been following your channel for a long time and love your content. Could you cover this topic in one of your future videos? Most IMGs may be taking this transition slow as it is hard to juggle things. How can one improve their CV, build ones confidence and clinical skills (accredited courses in the UK such as phlebotomy, first aid, IV, Botox, etc ) whilst still studying and moving forward on their journey to the UK?

We have free booklets covering this you can find on shop.roadtouk.com

What will happen to those who have already done plab 1 and intend to book plab 2 early next year( 2024). Will plab 2 change the same time as plab 1

[@RoxanneFlintwood]

Yes. Anyone who has done PLAB 1 and is going to take PLAB 2 on or after 17th May 2024, will do MLA

Hi and good day, doctor! May I know how to avail the free trial of UKMLA qbank? I’ve been trying to access it through the link posted on the description with no success. Thank you very much!

I am a student currently studying in Georgia. After i graduate can i directly write IELTS then UKmla. Or should I write NEXT part 1 to obtain liscene in my country India so that I ll be eligible for internship in india nd then do internship in india...then write plab ? So my question is is obtaining internship eligibility in home country required to even write plab and get gmc registration

[@praneetsamuel1089]

I’ve got the same doubt. Could someone give an answer @roadtouk

[@mia5284]

No

[@MG-dn2qm]

But the website said the prep should be the same, why should we be worried

[@RoadToUK]

GMC has stated both in their site and in their email that the foundation of the exam will shift from PLAB blueprint to MLA content map and they also suggest modifying prep to ensure this.

[@Drbeenish3370]

Hello i maded a gmc account but my primary qualification awarding body or university is not there in the list yet , how gmc accept the universities for applying plab wts the criteria for them? Is it true we are not eligible if my university name doesn't appear on their given list

[@devodedra1117]

I am doing MSc programme here in uK and have recently cleared my Plab 1. I will have to switch to PSW visa. I wanted to ask if i will be able to work in the NHS on this Visa. Any help or guidance is much appreciated. Thanks

[@d-man988]

Doctors I am looking to choose UKFP 2024, I’ll register this month. Please let me know if I’ll attempt PLAB1 this year then what about PLAB2? If PLAB has been replaced to UKMLA till then.

[@RoadToUK]

It will be MLA based.

I have received a conditional job offer. this is my first nhs job. i read through the qtns to ask the HR on your blog. But Do i ask these qtns before accepting the conditional offer or after my pre employment checks? Your channel has been the biggest source of inspiration. Thanks in advance❤

[@RoadToUK]

It's best to ask before accepting so that you can change your mind if you need to.

Hi ! I'm studying in Tajikistan but I'm from Pakistan. Here in Tajikistan it's MD (General Medicine = 6 years) but they also give MBBS 5 years degree to Pakistani and Indian students. If i have to take UKMLA exam, will it matter if i study 5 years MBBS instead of 6 years MD? Because the Degree for local students is 6 years MD. Will GMC and other countries medical councils accept my 5 years MBBS degree. Please reply because i'm very confused !

[@RoadToUK]

How is your degree acceptance listed in WDOMS?

[@SalmanKhan-Fikarmand]

@@RoadToUK both .... MBBS and MD i.e , 5 years and 6 years respectively.

Is there any info about the cost of UKMLA !? Will it be similar to the current fees of PLAB !?

[@RoadToUK]

No information as yet. We will keep you updated if there is any change in cost, but for now it is safe to assume the same as PLAB.

@@hosnialfayyad5641 Nope they are saying to follow a qbank which they have come up with , can I stick to the earlier qbank

[@RoadToUK]

As we explained in the video, the exam has changed. The qbank we have made is based on these changes. If you choose to use a PLAB-based qbank for a UKMLA exam, it's up to you.

What about the EU graduates, until when they can be exempted from PLAB?

[@RoadToUK]

No timeline has been given yet.

[@panfu4944]

The relevant European Qualification pathway is still accepted - for at least 5 years from now. No UKMLA for EEA/EU IMGs so far. Specialty trainings finished in EU are accepted as well.

[@yasmineiachim3159]

@@RoadToUK Thank you for all your help. I'm currently in my second year of Medschool, and I was like really panicking due to these changes but seeing you guys already working on these q-banks is reducing any anxiety I initially had (I will totally use them along with the revision book once that is published). Thank you for giving us this chance to prove that us IMGS, even though we might not have most of the benefits the local med students have (the variety of materials, sources and preparation), we are able to succeed regardless. I'm a new subscriber but i'm glad I stumbled across your channel this early. There is still hope! :D
