There are different ways to apply for registration with a license to practise in the UK. It all depends on your nationality, qualifications and experience. Here, you can read our guides to registration and apply to join the Medical, GP or Specialist Registers. You can also move from provisional to full registration.
Are you from a country outside the UK, European Economic area or Switzerland? If you graduated from a medical school outside of the UK you will likely need to take a Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board (PLAB) test to join the register.
We help to protect patients and improve medical education and practice in the UK by setting standards for students and doctors. We support them in achieving and exceeding those standards, and take action when they are not met.
