Questions

Are these past PLAB 1 questions?
No. Every question is original, written to the published curriculum and checked by a doctor against current UK guidance such as NICE and the BNF. We never copy past papers or other question banks.
Which guidelines are the answers based on?
Current UK guidance such as NICE, the BNF and SIGN. Each explanation names its source, and you can report any question in one tap.
Can I claim it from a study budget?
Usually not. Study budgets are for doctors already in NHS posts, and PLAB comes before that.

Exameds is exam preparation, not clinical guidance, and is not endorsed by the GMC.
