Clinical Assessment Centre Relocation
From 2010, International Medical Graduates will take the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) Part 2 exam at a state of the art facility to be based at our new offices at 3 Hardman Street, Manchester.
The PLAB test is the main route by which International Medical Graduates demonstrate that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to practise medicine in the UK. Since the Clinical Assessment Centre opened in 2003, we have assessed over 23,000 International Medical Graduates from over 90 different countries. The Clinical Assessment Centre is also used for performance assessments which can sometimes be required as part of an investigation into a doctor's performance.

We aim to continue to provide a high quality service with the creation of a world class centre at our new offices in central Manchester.
Our current centre, located at our London office at 350 Euston Road, closed on 2 December 2009 and the new Centre will open at 3 Hardman Street, Manchester in March 2010.
