Who We Are

PLAB Guide Academy is a leading PLAB 2 and UKMLA CPSA preparation centre based in Manchester, United Kingdom. We specialise in high-yield, structured, and exam-focused training designed specifically for international medical graduates (IMGs) aiming for GMC registration.

The academy is led by Dr Rashad Raza, an NHS Registrar with extensive clinical and teaching experience in the UK healthcare system. Our mission is to bridge the gap between overseas medical practice and GMC standards, helping doctors become confident, safe, and competent practitioners in the NHS.

What Makes Us Different

Our Vision

We believe passing PLAB 2 is not just about memorising scripts — it is about developing safe clinical judgement, effective patient communication, and professional behaviour aligned with GMC standards.

Our teaching approach focuses on:

• Data gathering skills
• Clinical reasoning
• Ethical and professional scenarios
• Patient counselling and safety-netting
• Real NHS consultation standards
