This guide explains how to apply for full GMC registration with a licence to practise. You are eligible for this if you graduated from a medical school outside the UK or Switzerland, have passed both parts of the PLAB test within the past two years and have completed an internship ... click here to view this information from the GMC.


The infographic below (first published in Aug 2017) shows the pathway for non-UK doctors who apply for a UK post. The scheme, administered by the RCSEd, helps non-UK doctors to obtain registration with the General Medical Council (GMC) without taking the PLAB test, and to get sponsorship under the Department of Health's Medical Training Initiative.
