Med Studentz Medical School Forum - View Single Post - Exemption of IQE Exams for British Nationals

Basically if you come back with a degree from Pak and you're a British National you're exempt from doing the ISLETS (English exams)... well obviously only if you can speak english well (which due to assumption you kinda picked up over the last 20years or so).
The conversion exams happen on average over a period of 1 year, sitting an exam every 3 months (or so). Due to high influx of medics over the past year (from eastern europe mostly) these exams have been crammed so if you think you're brains enough to crush them in 6 months you'll soon have the option to do so.
There is a hierachy type system, british qualified dentists are given priority, then the europeans and then finally the docs that qualify from other countries. However if you do find a good VT post, pass all your exams and subsequently enough experience where you qualified from because less important.
