From 18th June 2014 medical doctors from outside the EEA and Switzerland will have to take an English language test and pass both parts of the PLAB [Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board] test. This consists of a language test and a medical skills test. It is possible that the pass mark for these tests will be raised. In order to register with the GMC and be granted a licence to practise in the UK, doctors from outside the EEA and Switzerland will have to gain an overall score of 7.5 in the IELTS exam.
