Take control of your future
Here to help you thrive.
I know firsthand how challenging it is for International Medical Graduates. For many years I worked at the General Medical Council (GMC), specifically within the Clinical Assessment Centre.
During my time there, I witnessed a common and frustrating pattern. Many talented doctors would arrive for the PLAB 2 exam, only to fall short. The problem wasn't their medical expertise; it was a lack of insight into the exam's format, scenario’s and the specific skills being tested.
I saw the pressure, the cost and the emotional toll. I also saw good doctors fail, not because they weren't capable, but because they lacked a clear and concise roadmap… I decided to change that.
Core Modules Covered
I have taken my extensive knowledge and experience to build a program that will help you navigate the exam with confidence.
This isn't just a course; it's a mission to give every IMG the best possible chance to pass. I'll provide you with the exact strategies and focus points you need, so you can stop worrying about the unknowns and start preparing with purpose.

Overcoming Cultural Differences
Unfortunately, many doctors fail PLAB 2 not because their clinical knowledge is lacking, but because they struggle to navigate the specific communication and ethical standards of the UK healthcare system.
The biggest hurdle isn't medicine; it's the cultural shift in how you interact with patients and colleagues. Your prior training is fantastic, however the GMC is assessing your knowledge and skills, which requires adopting a new communication style. We'll turn this perceived barrier into your greatest strength, teaching you precisely how to demonstrate patient-centered care and UK professionalism in every station.
The Professional Power Dynamic: Understand the fundamental difference between your home country's doctor-patient relationship and the UK's model of shared decision-making.
Stop feeling the pressure to dictate treatment and learn how to work with the patient (a major examiner focus).
Course Taster: Bridging the Gap
Here are five key areas we'll master to ensure you excel in the exam:
Addressing Sensitive Topics & Confidentiality: Moving past the fear of asking direct, necessary questions about lifestyle, mental health, or domestic issues.
We'll give you the exact framework to approach deeply sensitive subjects respectfully while fully adhering to strict GMC guidelines on consent and confidentiality.
Managing Emotional and Angry Patients: Learn structured communication techniques to handle stations involving challenging, distressed, or aggressive individuals.
We'll cover the specific steps to demonstrate empathy and de-escalation, which are essential for passing these high-stakes scenarios.
De-jargonising Your Language: Eliminate the pain point of using overly complex medical terminology that confuses patients.
Master the art of using clear, simple, and appropriate language, ensuring patients fully understand their diagnosis and management plan.
Non-Verbal Cues and Rapport Building: Overcoming the barrier of missing or misinterpreting critical non-verbal signals (eye contact, posture, physical distance).
Learn how to quickly establish rapport and demonstrate genuine concern through culturally appropriate body language and active listening, ensuring you are assessed as warm and approachable, not just clinically correct.
