PLAB 1 (UK) — Clinical Knowledge

Applied clinical knowledge for PLAB 1, the GMC's single-best-answer test for international medical graduates seeking UK registration. Short clinical vignettes at the level expected of a Foundation Year 2 doctor, covering common, important and acute presentations plus long-term conditions managed in primary care. Reflects UK practice conventions and tests recognition and reasoning rather than memorised guideline numbers or doses.
