    Will brexit affect international medical foreign graduates?
    Are there any chances that NHS might collapse? Please enlighten us on this topic.

      It's difficult to give an exact answer as to what Brexit means for the future if the NHS, but from an IMG standpoint, if EU/EEA doctors are less likely to stay post-Brexit, chances and opportunities for non EU/EEA doctors will increase. GMC seems to be preparing for this likelihood by having increased exam centers for PLAB.

    2. Please does it matter whether one did internship post or pre graduation from med. School?... Are they both acceptable by the GMC as long as it fulfils the rule for an acceptable internship?

    Is it true that if we show taking up prep course might lead to visa denial for PLAB 2 and also PLAB 1 ? I'm planning to take both exam in UK on PLAB visa but heard from a friend that it is very difficult to obtain a VISA like if I get visa for PLAB 1 there are chances to get a refusal for 2 . I don't think so it should be the case if I have all the required document and present proper finances , Please clear the air madam . I'm already a year past my Med school and preparing for MLE .
