UK Registration Requirements for Indian Doctors

Who this page is for

Indian doctors aiming at the UK, who landed here from a healthcare-abroad search.

Overview

UK registration is GMC territory (PLAB or acceptable postgraduate qualification, plus English — often OET or IELTS at high floors). It is not DHA Prometric. Use OET for UK doctors and SELT if a visa English test is also required.

What actually matters

• GMC is the regulator.
• OET/IELTS is English, not the clinical licensing exam.

UAE instead

If the job is Dubai, return to doctors in Dubai.

Verify on the official source

Fees, dates, accepted scores and visa rules change. Confirm the current figure on the official test, university, regulator or government page before you book or pay. StudyWhere is an advisor, not the test owner.
