Some good news! We previously wrote a letter about doctors being stranded due to cancellation of the PLAB exam. These doctors have now been granted a free automatic visa extension off the back of our letter in collaboration with a number of organisations.

We hope that this provides some much needed financial and emotional relief for all those affected.
