You dont apply for residency one you finish FY2, rather on November of of the same year you have started. Hence, 4 months after starting and you send them the COC at the end. You dont waste a year after FY2
Hey doctor, I applied for the FY2 standalone but my clinical experience is a year of internship and I’m lacking a bit in the practical areas such as catheterization and cannulations do you think I will be able to manage my way through if I get accepted for a position or will I struggle a lot because I hear from a lot of people that is a big responsibility and that they’re struggling a lot. Sorry for the long comment and thanks in advance!
Try to do that in your home country, but even if you didn’t, seeing those procedures once or twice would be enough. With good communication you can get your colleagues support as well.
Hello, thank you so much for this video but please I have a question. Can I apply this year for the fy2 standalone even when I missed the first eligibility route stage in May? Can I still apply for the preallocation phase?
Thanks for the video, i have a doubt if we have got our GMC registration recently do we need to do the english test again to apply for the F2 standalone? I also saw that my university is not in the blacklist of colleges in the GMC website
Good evening, I am doing MD program in a Bulgarian Medical Univeristy. After finishing MD, we'll receive a diploma but no separate internship certificate.

You need to be GMC registered before starting the post but you can still apply if you haven't yet done PLAB 2 provided that you can a booking before the end of May, as the time between May and august is the minimum time limit to finish GMC registration and get done with the visa.
Hello sir i m currently doing internship in India. I m unfortunately not very well versed with hands on skills like catheterization or cannulation since we dont have much patient influx in our hospital. Do u think that would hinder my prospects of getting an FY2 job??

I would say, apply for everything because you never know where you are going to be accepted. But, if you have a choice, I would always recommend doing a F2 year before starting a training job in the NHS.
Hi doctor, thank you for the informative video. I have Full GMC registration and I applied with oet results. do I have to do oet again for FY2standalone or can I use my oet result from gmc? (for gmc they required 350+ each section)

That’s correct, you apply in November of FY2 and start the training in August of the following year.

Hello, thank you so much for this video but please I have a question. Can I apply this year for the fy2 standalone even when I missed the first eligibility route stage in May? Can I still apply for the preallocation phase?
I am not aware of this phase, is that a second round of recruitment?
Can you talk more about the situational test? And how to pass it?
I haven't done it personally, but there are sample questions available online, question banks and a book by Oxford.
What if I finish my internship in my country after the eligibility period?
You can always apply even if you finished your internship year.
Thanks for the video, i have a doubt if we have got our GMC registration recently do we need to do the english test again to apply for the F2 standalone? I also saw that my university is not in the blacklist of colleges in the GMC website
You have to have a valid OET test with the required cut off for F2 standalone at the time of application.

May I know if I will be able to register with GMC after completing the MD program and doing FY1 and FY2 in the UK or will I have to take PLAB and then register with the GMC?
Similar situations
You have a primary medical qualification and internship certificate or equivalent to get GMC registration.
Dear Dr, thank you very much for this video. My question is, do I have to attach all the documents while filling out the application form or can I upload new documents after the 31st of january?
According to the timeline of the recruitment process, if you can upload your documents at the time of the application, that would be better.
Is it better to wait until July next year and register for FY1 or should I start the internship here in Egypt and apply for FY2?
Any experience before starting working in the NHS will benefit you, I would say finish everything in Egypt and start in the UK as F2.

You need to have GMC registration before starting the job in August of each year, it's not about the OET.
Thank you but Why Should I book plab2 before end of May while FY2 will start in August ??
You need to be GMC registered before starting the post but you can still apply if you haven't yet done PLAB 2 provided that you can a booking before the end of May, as the time between May and august is the minimum time limit to finish GMC registration and get done with the visa.

Hi. Thank you for this informational video. I want to know when can one book the SJT exam? Is it after the application for fy2 standalone has been submitted or before that? Thank you.
When you got longlisted, you will be email to book it.
first of all , thanks a lot for your videos it helps a lot ❤️
you will a lot if you explain me some confusing points here plz
is fy2 standalone pathway is better than applying directly to training job after my internship here in Egypt (which by the way of 2 years duration and can't do my gmc registration except after I take my graduation certificate after this 2 years of internship)
so what i need to know here is it easier to get training job when take fy2 from uk
or you recommend it because of the experience i would get only
and also if its just about oet of 400 score and plab and i get the fy2 standalone easily unlike the low chances nowadays to get training job even all requirements are present
i hope u answer my concerns ❤️
I would say, apply for everything because you never know where you are going to be accepted. But, if you have a choice, I would always recommend doing a F2 year before starting a training job in the NHS.
Is there any criteria that might increase my chances to be accepted? And does it matter if i got my gmc registration through mrcs?
Take a look at the desirable criteria in the personal specifications.
And no, it doesn't matter if you got your registration through MRCS.
@@EzzeldinBarakat i've heard it's less competitive to get in compared with service jobs for a fresh graduate after emtyaz, is that true?
@@EzzeldinBarakat and am i allowed to apply to both the f2 Standalone and to the gp training at the same time?
I would say so, but it's a very competitive program to start with.
Yes, but you need CREST form to apply for GP
Hi doctor, thank you for the informative video. I have Full GMC registration and I applied with oet results. do I have to do oet again for FY2standalone or can I use my oet result from gmc? (for gmc they required 350+ each section)
It’s required to score +400
How exactly can we apply for standalone? And if I get in, can I opt out of it if I get another job before August?
You can apply on oriel website, and you can go through the recruitment until the offering phase and then you can accept or reject the offer.
If my plab 2 test is on June 1 I can’t apply ?
According to the criteria they set each year. Usually the exam needs to be booked before May.

Hard these days and FY2 standalone is relatively easier.

No harm in applying but I am not sure if they you will be considered eligible this way.

It should be ok as long as you have GMC registration.

ALS is not mandatory.

You need a valid OET test before PLAB1, before GMC registration and before applying to FY2 standalone
No way for B in oet?
It needs to be 400 at least in each band.
