yes Doc Alan i realised that after reading your link, but British Gads can go and do foundation training and then work in a hospital without taking any exams, and if they want to go on and further their career they can go and take exams like MRCP.
setting Plab exams to a higher pass mark ( level of MRCP) seems unfair, as British grads don't have to be at this level to go and work in a hospital. there is no foundation level exam, as its continuous assessment.
but then this article is aboutnot about foundation or SHO officers.surgeons and GPs
