@@lokeshdevalla2060 Hi Lokesh. We follow a tax paying system called PAYE(pay as you earn). The Tax slabs remain same for all the professionals. However, your tax code changes with marital status(marriage allowance) and so on which has a very negligible change in your earnings. For example if you are on 1250L tax code, you pay nil tax Upto £12500 so that is your personal allowance. I have found an article for you which would give clear insight about taxes in UK.

Hi, doc, 1) for St1and St2 training PLAB exam is enough or we should take MRCP in additional? 2) for internal medicine now it is 3 years in the UK.IMT-1/IMT-2/IMT-3. After the training is it compulsory to do St4 - St7 training? In India, after completing the house job the pg training for any branch is 3 years. After that, u can become a consultant. It depends on their own choice to do speciality training after completing their post-graduation training.

[@lavnya70]

Hi, what specialty do you want to do? 1. PLAB should be enough. You can take the MRCP during internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years). 2. Yes, IMT is 3 years. Most doctors go on to do higher specialty training eg cardiology, resp, derm, neuro, gastro etc (4 years). You will only achive CCT and become a consultant, after completing IMT 1-3 and ST4-ST7. The specialty training here in UK is a lot different compared to other countries.

Hi. I’ve read that if someone takes break after their last year of mbbs like say around 3months before plab 1 so the person prepares for it. And if the person passes plab2 and doesn’t get a job so has to wait till he gets, so it means we are in break again as yet to get a job. These breaks are of a disadvantage to that person and the person needs to provide justification. Will it be difficult for that person to get a job then?😞 I’m talking about IMGs.

Hi Lavnya, I hope you 'll be fine , I have a question if I finish my last year or practice in my country , and iI would like to apply yo UK for a speciality , how much money should I take at beginning? While I'm doing the process of GMR . And the other question is , could I work and speciality at the same time?

[@lavnya70]

Specialty training in UK is free. You work for the hospital while you train. You will also receive a monthly salary. It is best for IMGs to apply for a non-training job here first for 6-12 months. This will give you NHS experience. After that, you can apply for specialty training in your desired specialty.

Good evening, I am doing MD program in a Bulgarian Medical Univeristy. After finishing MD, we'll receive a diploma but no separate internship certificate. May I know if I will be able to register with GMC after completing the MD program and doing FY1 and FY2 in the UK or will I have to take PLAB and then register with the GMC?

[@faithlesshound5621]

It's much better to ask the GMC itself about something as critical as that than enquiring on KZbin.

Hi, brexit might have an impact on EU doctors. I don't think it will have much impact on other international doctors. Do check out my video on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpq8fY2anbRmh7M

How does Brexit affect non-eu doctors 😂 Remainders aren't very smart are they.

[@faithlesshound5621]

@@FAli1900 Local people will keep asking you when you are going to leave. Legally, Brexit was about the UK leaving the EU. Politically, it was about throwing the foreigners out. Many doctors who did not HAVE To leave left anyway. The Home Office was ordering IMG junior doctors to leave because they were not high earning professionals, but many got a stay of execution due to covid.
