The employers should make a job reference form for the employees. On top of those documents, it is obligatory that you finish the EPIC verification before sending in the application for registration.

English language evidence for registration

We are already aware of cases where even after taking the PLAB 2 examination, some candidates are faced with a challenge of a possible expiration of their English language evidence before they can be registered with the authority. The good news is, if you are in this situation, there are still various ways you can demonstrate your proficiency in English.

Furthermore, applicant’s recent PLAB 2 pass at registration is also acceptable as proof that their language skills have been maintained.

Step-by-Step Guide to Full Registration Through PLAB Route

Let’s cover every aspect of this through several clear-cut steps. Do pay the required attention to what the GMC is telling each application stage of the process.Here’s how to proceed with that.

1. All the documents should be gathered and you have to log on to the GMC online portal. Occupy with the selection option, navigate to”My registration” and click on “My applications” from the options. Apply the instructions on the following task and click on the “Apply” button.
2. On the page for “Before you apply”, you will access the crucial information and instructions by simply clicking on the link. This section deserves your careful attention, so read through it before the submission. Now, “continue with application” the next step.
3. Next, you will be redirected to the “Route Selection” screen where you make a choice of whether you need to be accepted onto the Specialist Register or the GP Register. If you choose the internship/FY1 as final training, then mark “No”. This is the best option IMGs who are offered it after graduating from university since they can learn more about the area of medicine they are interested in, and improve their knowledge and skills. If there is any binding issue for you, revolve to the GMC for providing the clarification. Then, choosing ‘No’ will let you open the next page. Reading carefully the socially-accepted forms of experience and if it’s socially-acceptable, then choose yes. For the type of application to submit, please choose “full registration with license to practice after passing PLAB” and click the “Apply” button.
4. A new window will show up and you will be requested to log in by entering your EPIC ID. Then, you will need to fill in the following sections in order: Details of your internship, Name of the organization plus its location, Current employment, Health information, Agreement of liability and confidentiality, and Self-declaration form.

The process of selecting post – graduate and pre – graduate internship types can be outright daunting for some. During my process I observed that prospective PG candidates need to select an internship type if they finished their MBBS here in India or Pakistan. Make your internship rotations indicate a separate line.

In the same way, presenting your professional background here can be quite a tricky thing because some of us might not have worked in the last few years. Opening up about the employment gaps with detailed, honest reasons, such as a vacation or a study leave is extremely important because GMC may require confirmation of any gaps. Take some time to understand the detailed instructions provided for completing this part.

5. Follow the signing up instruction and submit the registration fee as requested. Upon finishing payment, you will receive an email from the GMC demanding you the document as mentioned before. Including all the needed files in a single PDF and sending it back to the regulator. For the most part, they will require that you respond within the 28 days period, thus, it is suggested that you do so as soon as possible before any delays occur.
6. Last, check spam for the confirmation email from GMC. It might be every day a few days long or stretch up to a couple of weeks. The documents required may be more or less in some cases, and thus the application for the importation may be allowed or not. This can lead to misinterpretation of rules and procedures that might compromise the process of application. Therefore, direct contact with the GMC becomes an immediate solution.

Try to be patient and study very carefully through the instructions. If you encounter any difficulties, please contact the doctors at the hospital’s clinic right away.

Conclusion:

You can ease the stress of PLAB application to the GMC by carefully reading the instructions, collecting the required documents on time and at the end submitting them confidently. Lastly, ensure you report to the GMC if you failed to comprehend the code of conduct.

Best of luck!
