Become a Volunteer

We would love you to feel you could contribute to the support we are offering the people who are using our service. As you may have seen by now, one of our unique elements is the use of ‘recall’ questions. These questions have been built by people who have sat the PLAB exams, and afterwards have jotted down what they recalled from the question. They have sent their recollections to the team, and we have constructed new questions based on the ones people have remembered.

We would like to invite you to do the same: not just recalling the exam questions, but also if you come across an interesting situation in your work, let us know the basics and the element of the experience that you feel others could reflect on and learn from. We are not asking you to break confidentiality or plagiarise, merely to draw out themes for reflection and discussion.

So, a memory like “… constipated, he was taking opioid had no faecal impaction…” Becomes a question “An 82-year-old man who is prescribed opioid analgesia for chronic pain has developed constipation without impaction. Which SINGLE one of the following is the most appropriate approach to manage this?” If you feel you would like to help your peers this way, please contact us via the link below
