Sample PLAB 1 Question
A 67-year-old man with COPD, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and a penicillin allergy presents to the GP surgery with a 5-day history of productive cough and fever. Temperature is 38.6°C.

How QuizMed Matches the PLAB 1 Format
UK Drug Names Throughout
Paracetamol, adrenaline, salbutamol, co-amoxiclav — every drug uses BNF generic names, never US equivalents.
NICE-First Guidelines
Answers follow NICE, BNF, UK Sepsis Trust, and BTS/SIGN guidelines — never AHA, ACOG, or USPSTF.
NHS Clinical Settings
ED, GP surgery, AMU, and ward — all vignettes are set in NHS environments with UK terminology.
GMC Ethics & UK Law
Mental Capacity Act, Fraser guidelines, duty of candour, and Mental Health Act — the UK legal frameworks PLAB actually tests.
MLA Multi-Constraint Reasoning
Post-August 2024 style: comorbidities + allergy + renal function + guideline knowledge integrated in every vignette.
British English & Spelling
Oedema, anaemia, haemorrhage, paediatrics — consistent British medical spelling throughout every question.
