hi
i am in my late 30s and planning to appear for PLAB . i am a post graduate doc in o&g ,worked for 11 years in africa. now i am in uk since last 1 year. i am working in one of the uk's company as a quality controller . i took this job boz of job prospects in NHS is very slim now a days. i just don't know whether shoud i continue with my job or go for PLAB ? due to family resposibility i can't leave this job . in this forum all the plabbers r fresh graduates and very young !!! i don't know is there anyone like me sailing in the same boat ?? with full time job,family commitments and PLAB study ... all together i find it very difficult to handle. i need ur suggestion and ur views ... do u find same like me dauning and stressfull ???please drop ur views ....

when i took PLAB i was 25 years and met a lot of young ladies and gents in eastham.had a pretty nice time.But dont worry i saw a senior doctor as well who was in his fifties and was preparing for PLAB 2 .He was almost bald and had grey hair.
So its never too late.
Giv it a go but will it be of any use now that auss and s.africa drs and non eea drs are not welcome in UK????

hi there,
age is not a hindrance. do not worry. even during my PLAB training i met an old gentleman preparing for test. If you are interested you can pass the test.
best wishes

Hi

i was 32 when i did my PLAB - with the family and work committments - its not easy - so I understand

I had my first job in Aug last year - it was tough for me - one I am older for a junior doctor - most here are around 25 - but also I had not done clinical work in over 7 years until then - it was tougher getting back.
I feel that if I managed - anyone would - also you have been working hard as a doctor for so many years - yes the prospects are daunting - but if you are here anyway - its worth a try
good luck whatever you choose to do!!

Hey, there is no age factor when studying. Do not worry. Go ahead and do the PLAB . Good Luck.
