General medical council registration

All practising physicians in the United Kingdom are required to be registered by the General Medical Council (GMC). Applicants who have a medical degree from outside the European Union may be required to pass an exam to determine their level of literacy and medical knowledge (the PLAB exam) before they can perform the duties of a physician or surgeon. Although it is possible to become a Visiting Fellow at Canniesburn without GMC registration it is essential if the applicant wishes an honorary contract with the hospital and to participate in hands on clinical work.
