Hi there! You should be able to see the most up to date template here: foundationprogramme.nhs.uk/programmes/2-year-foundation-programme/eligibility-information/eligibility-applications-ukfp-what-you-will-need/deans-statement/ Be sure to check if that's the Dean's Statement for the UKFP year you're applying to as it is updated every year. Your application might be rejected if you upload the wrong one! I hope this helps!

Hi there! Just saw your comment! At the time, the GMC stated that one of the types of evidence they could accept for English competency was a letter from the university/Dean stating that the curriculum was taught in English. I had asked my university to help me with this in order to avoid taking IELTS. I had used a similar format that was stated in the Dean's Statement of the UKFP. When I sent this to the GMC, they rejected this evidence on the grounds that English is not the first language of the Philippines. They apologised to me that this was not explicitly stated on their website or in their emails. I then decided to take the IELTS to garner a score of 7.5 minimum in all domains out of fear that the UKFP would have similar rules. The UKFP did not explicitly express to me at the time that they would reject my Dean's Statement as evidence, and simply referred me back to the Eligibility Handbook stating that their requirements differ to that of the GMC. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you found this helpful!

Wanted to know the same

Hi there! Just seen your comment. I had an entire year as a clinical gap, however I explained this in my application for provisional registration to the GMC that I was preparing to apply for the foundation programme as well as taking/preparing for the PLAB exams. I think the GMC website has the updated answer regarding unexplained clinical gaps. Thanks!

Hi there! You will have to first take PLAB 1 and PLAB 2 exams in order to apply for provisional registration with the GMC. Provisional registration is a mandatory requirement in order to start FY1, and evidence of this will be asked for by UKFPO throughout the application process. Hope this answers your question!

Hello, I am planning to do the same next year. Have you received any updates? It would be wonderful if you could tell me.

@@hrishikeshsen1141 hello, what updates do you mean?

@@ryansiah98 hey! I meant did you get a sponsorship for the visa? Did you book and write your plabs? If there's a better place we can talk, kindly suggest it. I'd love to know more about your UKFPO journey.

@@hrishikeshsen1141 yeah so what I found out about sponsorship, it basically means the hospital that employs you will have to sponsor you - something also called a tier 2 visa. I just booked my sjt, then in March only I'll know if I have a job in uk based on how well I did on sjt. I didn't have to do plab thankfully because my degree is from Europe, so sadly I can't help you there

Hi , have you found a solution ?

Hi there! Basically the GMC may not allow you to apply for a provisional registration if you have taken an adequate 'pre or post-graduate clinical experience', this is what the GMC means by an internship. They have several criteria for this so you can check if your internship falls under this: www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/join-the-register/before-you-apply/check-if-your-practical-training-internship-is-acceptable If the internship you took falls under their criteria, then they may refuse for you to have provisional registration - meaning you can't enter as an FY1, and instead might ask you to apply for full registration - which you can use during Stand-Alone FY2. I hope this helps!

Hello, thanks for your comment! Based on what you've told me, I feel that it's unlikely that the UKFPO will accept your application given that they do not accept your Dean's Statement as proof of English Language Proficiency. You can try and send the UKFPO an email about your situation just to be sure, although I am not sure if you will get a reply before the Eligibility application closes. If you are struggling with IELTS Writing, you can try taking the OET instead, as I have heard from some people that it may be easier. I hope this helps! Feel free to update me on your situation! <3

What kind of video would you like to see next? Let me know!

Hi there! I actually answer this question in my last video, if you wanna check it out: th-cam.com/video/9n5EMBqF4Ng/w-d-xo.html&t

@@mischka6731 thank you for your reply! What about the growing reserve list situation ? Do you think it will make it harder for IMGs to get into UKFP ?

Wow thank you for this comment! I did already sound something like this when I did my IELTS exam. I mentioned in the video that how much you have to practice in speaking really depends on your current experience in speaking English. English is my first language, and I grew up speaking mostly English at home. But I really do believe that if you practice enough, you will get there!

Hi there! You're not required to have completed PLAB by the time you submit your Eligibility Application. You may need to provide evidence that you already took PLAB 1, or that you are planning to take it. In the new guidance, it states that if you do not already have a booking for PLAB 1 by the time the Eligibility Application closes, you must provide evidence such as email confirmation that you have booked PLAB by August 31, 2022, and must have emailed this to the UKFP helpdesk by September 9, 2022. They state that the GMC will not accept bookings made after August 31, 2022. Also note that in order to remain Eligible to apply for UKFP, you need to have taken PLAB 2 by May 31, 2023. You can find more details on the new Eligibility guidance for UKFP 2023 here: healtheducationengland.sharepoint.com/sites/UKFPOT/WebDocs/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2FUKFPOT%2FWebDocs%2F3%2E%20Programmes%2F2%20Year%20Foundation%20Programmes%2F1%2E%20Eligibility%20Application%2F2023%2FUKFP%202023%20Eligibility%20Applicant%20Guidance%20FINAL%2Epdf&parent=%2Fsites%2FUKFPOT%2FWebDocs%2F3%2E%20Programmes%2F2%20Year%20Foundation%20Programmes%2F1%2E%20Eligibility%20Application%2F2023&p=true&ga=1 I hope this helps!

More to come!

Hi there! According to their website, all applicants on the reserve list for 2022 have now been allocated a slot in the UK Foundation Programme : ) foundationprogramme.nhs.uk/reserve-list-allocation-update-april-2022/

Coming soon!

Hi there! I wouldn't say the require a specific GPA, but they will ask what your ranking in medical school was in order to be able to rank you properly amongst the other applicants. They will ask in your Dean's Statement what your Decile ranking was, and will score you based on that. We're still waiting for the official UKFP 2023 Main application guidance to be published, so we may have more details soon. I hope this helps!

Glad it was helpful! Let me know what other content you'd like to see on my channel!

Hi there! I think this will depend on what you did after you completed your PMQ. If you entered a post-graduate internship after you completed your PMQ, then you would not be eligible to apply for the 2-year programme, and might have to apply for the Stand-Alone FY2 programme. However, if you simply took a career break (studied, took vacation, etc) then you may still be able to apply, but might need to take the Clinical Assessment in order to be eligible. However, the GMC may wonder about this career break and may ask for further evidence of this gap. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the kind comment! Glad you find my videos helpful. First time hearing that I look like her haha!

Hi there! You can send me a message on my instagram: @mischkamoss :) Hope that helps!
