Heyy! I love all your videos they are so informative. But one question that couldn't find the answer to is while doing speciality training how are we taught? Are there lectures like in PG courses in India? And half-yearly/yearly exams?
As you said, Ortho's that become consultants make around 80k first year in. Is that what they take home or is that pre-tax? If that is pre-tax, how much of that would they keep. Thanks!
Hi Dr. Lavnya, I enjoy watching your video on life as UK doctor as well as British lifestyle. May I ask do I need an English test if I have attained MRCP (UK) and wished to register with GMC in UK?
Hi, thank you. There are a number of ways to show your evidence of english knowledge. It will depend on your primary medical school qualification but there are other ways as well. Do check the evidence of english knowledge for GMC registration here www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/join-the-register/before-you-apply/evidence-of-your-knowledge-of-english
Mam....how to demonstrate the equivalent competencies to that of a IMT trainee after completing mrcp from India.Your answer would of great help to me at 4:55 minutes in your above video Anticipating your reply
Hi, it will depend on your cv/portfolio/logbook/references. Do check on the ST3 recruitment website www.st3recruitment.org.uk. Under document library- 2020 alternative certificate of core competencies. Also look into the eligibility criteria for individual specialties.

Is MRCP exam require in run though training if I pass PLAB already? In case,if I not able to pass MRCP (But pass PLAB) can't i become a internal medicine doctor?
PLAB is a licencing exam to work in the UK. MRCP is a UK specialty exam to enter the higher medical specialties. MRCP is normally done during internal medicine training (IMT) (2-3years).
What a great video and I would share this with other international doctors interested to work in UK. May I ask, is it a prerequisite that UK doctors must be registered in the specialist list before they could apply a consultant job in UK?
@@lavnya70 Thanks, so how about when I seen vacancy title named as "clinical fellow" or "specialty doctor"? what grade of doctors are they referring to? Indeed it's good a have a video describing various doctor's posts in the UK system
@@citysuper5615 Hi, specialty doctor normally refers to a registrar grade post. Clinical fellow of trust grades are general terms for doctors. The post should specify what grade it is. For example, you can be a trust grade registrar or a trust grade SHO (senior house officer). A rough guide of grades in UK medical school- house officer (FY1)- SHO (FY2, CT1, CT2, ST1, ST2)- registrar (specialty doctor, ST3-ST7)- consultant.

Hi, thank you. After FY2, you can apply for radiology specialty training (7 years). To improve your CV, try and do audits, quality improvement projects, papers, posters and presentations related to the specialty you are pursuing.

Hello Dr Lavanya. Does the Score of MRCP matters while recruitment process for Sub-speciality? Does High score gets preference for competative sub- speciality?
Hi, if you are not already a qualified specialist, it is best to do a UK training programme. You just need to apply for the training programme. You can find more information about the higher medical specialties here ST3 recruitment website www.st3recruitment.org.uk and the surgical specialties here www.jcst.org/introduction-to-training/selection-and-recruitment/

So can i directly enter FY2 or do i need to start from FY1? Also is there any other exams to be given to apply for MD?
If you have completed a GMC accepted internship, you don't need to do FY1. You can apply for FY2 jobs. UK doctors don't normally do MD to specialise and become a consultant. We do the specialty training programme. Do check out this video Specialty Training (Residency) in UK ruclips.net/video/6hFJgU-psEE/видео.html.

You can check if you internship is acceptable here -GMG internship www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/join-the-register/before-you-apply/check-if-your-practical-training-internship-is-acceptable
Hi dear Lavanya!😃 I'm really confused and feel that I don't understand certain things. Please, can you clear these- I mean, the first medical internship we do while studying in mbbs (last year ) is fy1. So after that starts fy2(which I want to do in the UK) now I'm really confused about how many types of fy2 are there or what other posts are available for me and their names eg- training /nontraining, post grades etc I really don't understand them😞😞
Hi, after mbbs, doctors here do FY1 (which is equivalent to internhsip in other countries), after FY1 doctors do FY2. You can apply for a training FY2 post or a non-training FY2 post. Training post will be better but the places are limited. It is ok to do a non-training FY2 post. The salary, support and job is the same. Whatever FY2 post you do make sure you obtain the FACD(foundation achievement of competency document). This can be obtained in a training and a non-training FY2 post. As long as you have completed FY2- and obtain the FACD, you can apply for further specialty training in your desired field.
Lavnya Balenderan alright dear. If I assume that I still need to practice certain things or don't have enough confidence as I'm studying in a foreign country where they use their own language to talk so we have limited access to the patients. So what do you think? Is it better to join fy2 none training or training? But surely make myself know all the things a fy2 doctors must know. And it's a humble request if you can make a video on what things we should know to do for fy2 in UK. It will be easier for us to note if we miss something. Thank you 🤗
@@beautifulzzz2120 Hi, i understand your concerns. Don't worry. When you start FY2 (training or non-training), you will be given a e-portfolio to fill and procedures to sign off. As long as you complete it, you will be given the FACD. You will also have a clinical supervisor (normally a consultant), to ensure you make good progress and meet your FY2 needs. It is well supported here.

Hi, you normally work as an SHO/Fy2 for 6-12 months. After completing FY2, apply for your desired specialty training programme. The application is done via oriel. www.oriel.nhs.uk Certain specialities like GP have a recruitment test. But you only need to do this after you have applied.
Wondeful content and thanks for the insights, Ma'am. I have done MBBS + 3 years PG in Respiratory medicine + MRCP till part 2. I am thinking of giving SCE in Respiratory Medicine as well, in 2020 - right alongside the PACES. 1.After securing full MRCP + full specialization in respiratory medicine from India + SCE in respiratory medicine, which route do you suggest I take? The IMT - ST3 route or CESR? (Or any alternate route) 2. Does the SCE add weight in getting selected for a subspeciality? 3. Is language test necessary after doing MBBS + PG + MRCP + SCE ? I want to work and settle in the UK, in my beloved field of respiratory medicine. Keep up the good work! Cheers.
Hi, thank you and well done. 1. Since you have completed respiratory PG/training in India and will already become a specialist there, it is best to choose the CESR route here. 2. Yes, SCE is recognised in the UK and will give you an advantage while applying for CESR. 3.There are few ways to prove english knowledge. You can check the GMC guidance here www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/join-the-register/before-you-apply/evidence-of-your-knowledge-of-english All the best.
To enter ST3 higher medical specialties, you need MRCP and internal medicine training IMT (3 years) (or 2-3 years internal medicine experience in another country).

Hello Lavnya, What's the scope & working conditions/lifestyle of GPs in London? Are they been respected as a high grade doctor? Or been seen as some assistant/compounder type? And, same question want to ask for Counseling & Psychotherapy professionals in London? Thanks

@@lavnya70, ok.. Yes I have seen those videos. Why the specialist trainings are of so long durations in UK? (As in other countries, let's take mine, India, specialist(postgraduations) are normally 2-3 yrs. No speciality is of 6-7-8 yrs. Why it is so long in UK? Any reason? Or simply 'the different country different rules')? And, In my case, can you kindly suggest me based upon your knowledge & experience- I have another passion so will be ultimately landing in a different profession after medicine. From medical side, I just want a decent field/speciality which can give me a decent lifestyle, money & security. After few yrs of such profession, I will be switching to my passion field part time or full time. That's the reason I don't want to give further 7-8 yrs in a medical speciality. What I should do? May I go for GP or remain a normal SHO? What will be best decision suitable for me? Any suggestion, if you can give. Thanks
@@mohammadsaif001 Hi, one of the reason specialisation is so long in the UK is because there is a service provision element to the training. You work for the NHS while you train. NHS is a free healthcare service in the UK. It is not always a 50/50 split between training and service provision. So maybe that is why it is so long. I would suggest doing GP specialty training. It is 3 years. You will receive a better salary as a GP then a trust grade SHOs.
@@lavnya70, ok.. So, as a GP, I may get a decent lifestyle, money, respected medical profession, security etc. And with that, I may focus towards my passion field as well. Right?
Hi LAVANYA, I have seen Quora and other videos, they are saying that Doctor PG in UK costs 22500 GBP per year but you are saying that it’s free of cost...I am really confused..Is it true?... In other blogs, no one pointed out about health education England.. May I know why?
I am not sure about that. I can only share with you my experience. As far as I am aware, to become a specialist in UK, doctors here do a specialty training programme.
There are PG courses via universities that is not free and you have to pay tuition fees. But most doctors in U.K. ( local and International) don’t do these courses to specialise. We do the specialty training programme. And the specialty training programme is free for local and international doctors . Do note that specialty training is not an MD/masters/degree.

No having more than one attempt in MBBS will not have any impact on your application. GP training in the UK is easy to get in. After GMC registration, apply for a non-training job here for 6-12 months to gain some NHS experience. After that, you can apply for GP training programme (3 years).

Could you please elaborate the pathway in a video of the most practical way for an internal medicine aspirant. Thank you in advance.
Pathway for internal medicine- After MBBS, internship and PLAB, apply for FY2 jobs in UK. After FY2 (1 year), apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years). During IMT, take MRCP. After IMT and MRCP, apply for higher specialty training in your desired medical specialty eg cardiology, respiratory, acute medicine, neurology, gastroenterology, renal medicine etc. Best to do a non-training FY2 post before entering a training programme. Most IMGs apply for a non-training post for 6-12 months before entering a training programme. This will give you NHS experience before entering a training programme.
Hlo dr..i hear about racism against indian doctors in nhs...is it true? Does indians struggle to do well in speciality progrms? Is there a hindrance in opportunity due to racism issues?
Which are college are you from? You can send a letter to the dean of your college and ask him to get your college listed in wdom. If it’s a recent college then it will take time.
I am not sure about the MD pathway. Doctors here do specialty training to specialise and become a consultant. It is not a MD/masters/degree. After PLAB 2, apply for FY2 jobs here. After FY2 (1 year), apply for specialty training in your desired specialty.
Yes. SCE is a specialty exam for certain medical specialties. SCE is normally taken during specialty training ST3-ST7. I share more information about the SCE in this video ruclips.net/video/k7keKqPPmDg/видео.html

Hi Dr. Lavnya, I enjoy watching your video on life as UK doctor as well as British lifestyle. May I ask do I need an English test if I have attained MRCP (UK) and wished to register with GMC in UK?
Hi, thank you. There are a number of ways to show your evidence of english knowledge. It will depend on your primary medical school qualification but there are other ways as well. Do check the evidence of english knowledge for GMC registration here www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/join-the-register/before-you-apply/evidence-of-your-knowledge-of-english

Is MRCP exam require in run though training if I pass PLAB already?
In case,if I not able to pass MRCP (But pass PLAB) can't i become a internal medicine doctor?

@@lavnya70 Thanks, so how about when I seen vacancy title named as "clinical fellow" or "specialty doctor"? what grade of doctors are they referring to? Indeed it's good a have a video describing various doctor's posts in the UK system
@@citysuper5615 Hi, specialty doctor normally refers to a registrar grade post. Clinical fellow of trust grades are general terms for doctors. The post should specify what grade it is. For example, you can be a trust grade registrar or a trust grade SHO (senior house officer). A rough guide of grades in UK medical school- house officer (FY1)- SHO (FY2, CT1, CT2, ST1, ST2)- registrar (specialty doctor, ST3-ST7)- consultant.

Hi dear Lavanya!😃 I'm really confused and feel that I don't understand certain things. Please, can you clear these- I mean, the first medical internship we do while studying in mbbs (last year ) is fy1. So after that starts fy2(which I want to do in the UK) now I'm really confused about how many types of fy2 are there or what other posts are available for me and their names eg- training /nontraining, post grades etc I really don't understand them😞😞
Hi, after mbbs, doctors here do FY1 (which is equivalent to internhsip in other countries), after FY1 doctors do FY2. You can apply for a training FY2 post or a non-training FY2 post. Training post will be better but the places are limited. It is ok to do a non-training FY2 post. The salary, support and job is the same.
Whatever FY2 post you do make sure you obtain the FACD(foundation achievement of competency document). This can be obtained in a training and a non-training FY2 post.
As long as you have completed FY2- and obtain the FACD, you can apply for further specialty training in your desired field.
Lavnya Balenderan alright dear. If I assume that I still need to practice certain things or don't have enough confidence as I'm studying in a foreign country where they use their own language to talk so we have limited access to the patients. So what do you think? Is it better to join fy2 none training or training? But surely make myself know all the things a fy2 doctors must know. And it's a humble request if you can make a video on what things we should know to do for fy2 in UK. It will be easier for us to note if we miss something.
Thank you 🤗
@@beautifulzzz2120 Hi, i understand your concerns. Don't worry. When you start FY2 (training or non-training), you will be given a e-portfolio to fill and procedures to sign off. As long as you complete it, you will be given the FACD. You will also have a clinical supervisor (normally a consultant), to ensure you make good progress and meet your FY2 needs. It is well supported here.
If i remain in non Trainee job for a long without any traning or mrcp will my salary will b same for always? Or increment will b added yearly?

Why the specialist trainings are of so long durations in UK? (As in other countries, let's take mine, India, specialist(postgraduations) are normally 2-3 yrs. No speciality is of 6-7-8 yrs. Why it is so long in UK? Any reason? Or simply 'the different country different rules')?

@@mohammadsaif001 Hi, one of the reason specialisation is so long in the UK is because there is a service provision element to the training. You work for the NHS while you train. NHS is a free healthcare service in the UK. It is not always a 50/50 split between training and service provision. So maybe that is why it is so long.
I would suggest doing GP specialty training. It is 3 years. You will receive a better salary as a GP then a trust grade SHOs.

Yes you can do PLAB during internship. IMGs can apply for surgical specialties. After MBBS, internship and PLAB, apply for FY2 jobs in the UK. After FY2 (1 year), apply for core surgical training CST (2 years). After CST apply for plastic surgery specialty training (6 years).
Thank you so much.
I’ve one more doubt. 2 years of core training is equivalent to MS surgery in India?
Do I have to give MRCS if I want to do core training in surgery? What all extra things I need to have as FMG to get surgery core training in UK?
Hello madam iam a post MBBS student with one year of internship taking mrcs exam directly and cleared part A ,so to get speciality training like ST3 for how many years I need to work as a sho ?
Surgical pathway- After FY2, apply for core surgical training (CST) (2 years). MRCS is normally taken during CST. After CST, apply for higher speciatly training ST3 in your desired surgical field. (6 years)

Hello Doctor,thanks for the reply,it means a lot.I am doing my mbbs from Ukraine and for internship i have to go back to my home country.But if i dont want to do internship from my home country,can i give plab and enter Uk into FY1 program and be a doctor in Uk for lifelong.
Hi, yes, after completing MBBS, you need to apply for FY1 here.
@@lavnya70 Okay thankyou doctor.I can apply to FY1 post without internship.And can work in Uk as a doctor/surgeon.
@@chitrakshibhardwaj6582 Hi, yes. Do check with the GMC for formal approval.
@@chitrakshibhardwaj6582 Hi, here is a link to the GMC for IMGs who have not completed internship. www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/join-the-register/registration-applications/application-guides/provisional-registration-for-international-medical-graduates
@@lavnya70 Thankyou doctor.
is it better to do non training fy2 or standalone fy2 .why so?
There is not much difference between the two. Both will allow you to gain all the FY2 competencies and apply for further specialty training in your desired specialty.
In india we have a compulsory internship period after our graduation course(MBBS) . Am I supposed to join FY1 or FY2 after plab ?
If you have completed internship, you don't have to do FY1. You can apply for FY2 jobs after PLAB.
@@lavnya70 can u please gimme a short note of the process from fy2 to getting a CCT if I hv planned to pursue a neurology course there !
Which exams must I take if I go there as a pediatric specialist can you help me please ? Or if I go during the last year of my residency ? Thanks in advance. Hope you all the best.
Probably best to take MRCPCH.
@@lavnya70 Either in my last year of recidency or after I complete it right ?
@@orcunozdemir7565 I think so. I am not familiar with the process overseas.

I heard nhs job is very busy & tiring.. Is it true??,many works many paperworks??
Hi, yes it can be busy and lots of paperwork. I have only worked here so it is normal for me. Not sure how it compares to other countries.
Madam I completed Mbbs from China with internship and I am Indian citizen will my internship accepted in uk after plab2 or do I need to repeat fy 1
Best to check with the GMC if you internship is acceptable. www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/join-the-register/before-you-apply/check-if-your-practical-training-internship-is-acceptable
Hi Doc ! I'm currently working as a Medical Officer in a Public health facility.I want to pursue MRCGP and settle in the UK.I cleared my Prof exams in MBBS in more than one attempts.Is that going to be a problem? But I joined Medical service in the same year when I completed my internship.I have been working in the health department for the last 5 years.How difficult is MRCGP for me?
No having more than one attempt in MBBS will not have any impact on your application. GP training in the UK is easy to get in. After GMC registration, apply for a non-training job here for 6-12 months to gain some NHS experience. After that, you can apply for GP training programme (3 years).
@@lavnya70 Ok Thank you Mam!
@@lavnya70 Mam one more thing if you don't mind me asking? Kindly, elaborate about non training jobs in nhs and how long can a person work as a non training doctor ?
@@drtaruns4968 You can work in a non-training job for as long as you want. There is no time limit. And it is not compulsary to enter or complete a training programme. Your career progression is just much quicker if you do a training programme.
@@lavnya70 thanks mam
Mam... I don't have an idea to settle at UK...so What will be most safest pathway to just do post graduation in Uk and return back to India to practice here.
Hi, i am not sure about the best pathway for doctors who want to return to their home country.
MTI would be a better option for u my friend
@@goldenknowledge5914 I Will enquire about it sir... Thank you soo much👍

Mam, Do our college need to be registered in some recognition organisation to give PLAB, just like USMLE? If yes then please provide the link to see if our medical college is eligible or not.
Your medical school qualification needs to be accepted by the GMC. You can check it here www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/join-the-register/before-you-apply/acceptable-overseas-qualifications
@@lavnya70 Seeing through the link which you have provided, It says they will verify qualification online by contacting the awarding institue. But as far as I have known, My college is listed in world directory of medical schools. So, Eligibility of my medical school shouldn't be a problem, Correct me if I am wrong? And alot Thanks to you Mam for guiding Us.. ❤️ Stay Safe Mam 😄
@@nikhilthapa2012 Hi, best to check with the GMC. I have not applied from overseas.

Hello mam. I want to know that if I want to do MD in cardiology in Uk . So how can i do that. What's the pathway? Because I want to settle in my country .
Hi, i am not sure about the MD courses. To specialise, doctors here do specialty training (7 years). We don't do MD/masters.
Ok thanku mam. So mam if I go for specialisation in uk. And if after some years I want to go back to my country. And work there. So is it worth it to come to Uk and do specialisation there?
@@poojamahajan471 Hi, i am not sure about this. I don't have much experience about this. I have only worked here. The system is different in other countries.
Ok mam. Thanku 😊😊💐
hello mam may I know what the next step is while applying for IMT after completion of plab exams?Do i have to work in uk as junior doctor after completion of internship in home country or do I get to apply directly? Could you please elaborate the pathway in a video of the most practical way for an internal medicine aspirant. Thank you in advance.
Pathway for internal medicine- After MBBS, internship and PLAB, apply for FY2 jobs in UK. After FY2 (1 year), apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years). During IMT, take MRCP. After IMT and MRCP, apply for higher specialty training in your desired medical specialty eg cardiology, respiratory, acute medicine, neurology, gastroenterology, renal medicine etc. Best to do a non-training FY2 post before entering a training programme. Most IMGs apply for a non-training post for 6-12 months before entering a training programme. This will give you NHS experience before entering a training programme.
@@lavnya70 Thank you sooo very much❤
Hlo dr..i hear about racism against indian doctors in nhs...is it true? Does indians struggle to do well in speciality progrms? Is there a hindrance in opportunity due to racism issues?
Hi, i understand your concerns. It is not as bad as you think. All doctors have an equal opportunity to enter specialty training.
Lavnya Balenderan ty dr😊.
Ma'am if my mbbs University is not GMC recognised can I still complete my MRCP exam?
Which are college are you from? You can send a letter to the dean of your college and ask him to get your college listed in wdom. If it’s a recent college then it will take time.
UK's CCT is valid in which other developed countries??
Hi, I am not sure. It will depend on the medical council in the country.
@@lavnya70 ok thank you.
Ma’am in which city will I get a job ... is it depends on my choice or it’s all the GMC

You can do either - training or non training. Non training will be easier to get.

How can i get into MD in uk after plab2
I am not sure about the MD pathway. Doctors here do specialty training to specialise and become a consultant. It is not a MD/masters/degree. After PLAB 2, apply for FY2 jobs here. After FY2 (1 year), apply for specialty training in your desired specialty.
What is sce ? Is it different exam from mrcp
Yes. SCE is a specialty exam for certain medical specialties. SCE is normally taken during specialty training ST3-ST7. I share more information about the SCE in this video ruclips.net/video/k7keKqPPmDg/видео.html
