General Medical Council (GMC) · Verified for 2026-10-10: GMC MLA content map, published October 2025, updated September 2026 and applicable to assessments from September 2026 onwards. The workbook label 'Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) Part 1' maps to the GMC examination named 'PLAB 1'. PLAB 1 remains PLAB 1 and meets the MLA Applied Knowledge Test requirements; this alignment does not establish a separate replacement examination.
