January 2026 Update: New Guidelines & Fresh Questions
Staying up-to-date is the single most important factor in passing the UKMLA (PLAB 1). Medical guidelines evolve constantly, and using outdated resources can cost you critical marks. Point to note: In late 2025, the GMC updated the MLA content map with new topics and guidelines. We have revised our materials to align with these changes, ensuring you have the most up-to-date resources for your exam preparation.
📝 Recent Topic Updates
We’ve completed a thorough refresh of these high-yield topics. Study notes and question explanations have been updated to reflect the latest NICE/CKS guidance, and we’ve added new exam-style questions that specifically test the changes. New practice items let you apply the updated recommendations in exam format so you’re fully prepared for these guideline updates on test day.

🔍 Why specific guidelines matter for the UKMLA
The General Medical Council (GMC) tests you on current best practice. An answer that was correct in 2024 (e.g., regarding fluid boluses in sepsis or Valproate prescribing) might be incorrect in 2026.
By revising with MedRevisions, you are ensuring that your "clinical reflex" is aligned with the exact standards used by exam writers.
