British Council administers the Professional Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) exams on behalf of the UK’s General Medical Council. The PLAB test is the main route by which international medical graduates demonstrate that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to practice medicine in the UK. For more information about PLAB, please visit the GMC website.
