PLAB 2 / UKMLA Communication Station Scripts and Workbook

Practice scripts, phrase banks and self-scoring rubrics for common PLAB 2 and UKMLA communication station types.

Many candidates lose marks in communication stations not because they lack knowledge, but because their structure, wording or patient-centred approach is not clear enough.

The PLAB 2 / UKMLA Communication Station Scripts and Workbook gives you a structured way to practise common communication scenarios.

It helps you build a safe consultation structure, use professional language, show empathy, explain clearly and safety-net appropriately.
