    Hi Doctor! Can you give an opinion about NHS losing their junior doctors over salary deals (considering the high global inflation). Personally, as an expat I’m more inspired to pass PLAB coz the more NHS Will be in need of doctors. Though it’s sad to know about the financial struggle there (if any), but my goal is to reach UK, get a job and practice my profession. What do you think? Thanks ahead and more power!

    Hi doc, I graduated from foreign country and then started internship in my home country, after one year of graduation. I had a gap before starting my internship and my graduation month is because I can’t start internship without giving FMGE exam in my home country and this exam is conducted just twice a year. So will GMC consider this gap while I was preparing for FMGE exam and grant me permanent registration once I apply for it? I contacted gmc via mail but their answer to my query lead to nowhere. How come they can’t answer this simple question.

    I've had pre-graduate internship for one semester before the graduation, for about 5 months, during which I also had to write my graduation thesis. I was then eligible to sit the state exam after which I started working in Healthcare centre, in family medicine units. I also had to complete PAT education for a year, in order to be able to work as a family doctor (not a specialist) in the family medicine units. After working there for 2,5 years, I started nephrology training, and I'm now on my second year. Will the experience I have be enough to get a full registration, once I pass the PLABs, or will I have to start from scratch once I come to the UK, considering my surgical experience is nowhere near enough?

It was supposed to be 12 months as GMC demanding but Covid-19 happen then the government just cut out my internship duration to 9 months. I begged the comittee to extend just my internship to 12 months but they said if others in the same program doesnt want to then there’s nothing i can do, thus i finished in november 2019. After job searching, i was working independently in the hospital in february 2020 then still working until now (i never had any gaps since although im preparing plab im still working) so how am i explaining this to the GMC?
