Sponsorship of Overseas Doctors to Train in UK General
Practice
The College does not currently operate a sponsorship scheme
for overseas doctors to gain exemption from the PLAB test in order
to train in UK general practice.
Arrangements for training in general practice are currently
under consideration at a national level with discussions underway
between various bodies. We are taking an active role in these
discussions in an attempt to develop a coherent system to provide
medical graduates from overseas with the opportunity of training in
UK General Practice. It will not be possible for us to establish a
formal sponsorship scheme until these discussions are
complete.
We are therefore sorry that we are unable to assist you
further on this occasion. If you wish to be advised if there is any
change in the situation please email us your contact details.
If you wish to receive further information on training in
general practice for your guidance please email:
