Nice to see you back Ibreez!!!!
:)
Thank you for this. I've been searching about UKFPO.❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
May I ask where did you study medicine and were you applied for UKFP or not ?
Hi Doc, this video is really helpful and I have lot of doubts about clinical assessment exam...please make a video of clinical assessment...it will be more helpful
Sure!
Ma'am our medical University doesn't mention any grade,marks ,they simply mentioned that u had graduated,then what to do?
Can you please guide on how specialized/academic foundation programs are beneficial? Do they help in getting into speciality training?
Can u make a video explaining the methods of ranking higher in the application?
Hi Ibreez! Thank you for the informations very helpful. Iam planning to opt for ukfp, is it okay to have a gap year (not work )during the preparation time? does GMC raise a question about it ?
It's not an issue.
Hello, Dr. Ibreez. Thank you for your channel. Does UK accept applicants for foundation programme and core training from Russian? And Is it possible to enter into UKFP without a gap year, if in my medical school graduation usually is July?
Yes they do. You would need to meet the criteria beforehand to avoid the gap, but that would be impossible in your situation as you'd need to clear UKMLA. The year in between would allow you to do so.
Great video Dear.
Thank you 😊
@@RoadToUK The website says, the eligibility application for UKFP2021 has been closed. I have some questions.
I am a final professional examinee. Due to COVID our exam is delayed. What should be my next step if i want to join as an intern in UK?
Is there any way to contact Dr. Ibrahim or Dr. Ibreez?
My internship would normally be 12 months long, but my government decided to shorten it to 10-11 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Have you heard if the GMC considers such internships as acceptable for full registration?
Otherwise I guess I will take the UKFP route and do internship again.
Hi can we work after doing internship of two years ,are we suppose to write an exam for internship ?and after internship are we eligible to work in UK?
You'll likely not meet the acceptable pattern criteria :(
Hey , this was a nice video, i have a question though , do we have to do SJT , clinical assesment and our EPM matter if we apply for FY-2 standalone posts ?
Please see: ruclips.net/video/C_QJqy9VsZ4/видео.html
Okay thank you 👍
for points given for publication is it that you get 2 points for every publication an applicant made or no 2 points is all an applicant gets no matter how many publications you made?
Hi Ibreez, Like your video! I want to do some clinic observation. I would appreciate if you could help or give some advice. Thank you.
Please see: roadto.uk/rBnr
Could you please tell me what score in medical school should i need to get the seat for ukfp? For example if my score from medical is not that high but i passed all exams (oet,plabs) and SJT on good score , can i get the seat in this case?
wat if oet is expires after u get registered to work as a dr in uk (after step 2) ? please guide me. Would i need to give oet again or oet is just to get regesteration.
What do you mean by educational performance score ?!
I am a med student from bd
Does this mean our prof results!?
Hi, I have currently graduated from Russia in 2022and looking forward to ukfp …have booked my oet next month but I guess next slot for plab seats are only 2024 only… would it be problem if I have a 2yr gap ….like I could only join ukfp as possible as in 2025?.
Also would it be hard to get into ukfp considering I have not done any prior internship?
Hi Ibreez! Can I as IMG (without intership at all) go straight to UK to spend 1 yr to complete Plab1 , SJT and Plab2 (Full Time) after which I will only start on FY1 and FY2?
The question would be on how you'd stay in the UK for that time.
Asalamualeykum, Very informative as usual. Just wanted to ask wether doing FY2 locuming roles as first UK job is good idea and if I can use that to fill up my CREST form and meet the elligibility for specialty training?
Thank you very much
Walaikum assalaam. Do you already have a settled visa status in the UK?
Thank you for replying, Yhh I do, just studying in Europe and planning to do internship in a diffrent country abroad (my uni doesn't offer internship) to get experience .
Hi!! After graduating from med school, we have to give our ielts, plab 1 and plab 2 , then apply for ukfp and do provisional gmc registration right??
Yes.
@@RoadToUK can I apply for UKFP without giving Plab 2?
@@RoadToUK how about the clinical assessment and SJT am confused??
Hello Dr Ibreez! Your video is extremely helpful. I am an IMG from Pakistan and I graduated in Feb 2023. One of the requirements for Eligibility Application is the Provisional registration of GMC. The eligibility application window is 6/7/23-29/7/23. Do I need to do my plabs before this date?
No.
I would like to ask about submitting OET result for ukfp 2022. How can I find the deadline for providing the certificate? It has to be done at the time of eligibility application window or it can be submitted after eligilibility checking as well? Thank you so much.
It needs to be provided during the eligibility period.
Hey. Your videos are so great and helpful. I am doing anaesthesia and critical care medicine residency in india. I have already cleared MRCP 1. Is it so that I cannot give my PACES if I am not having UK experience or if I haven't worked under a MRCP consultant???
No, that is not true.
if I do Ielts, plab 1 and 2 first, then I apply for UKFP. so how the application process ? it will be the same? eligibility application > national application > SJT > National Allocation > Fy1? thanks
Yes. You just don't need to keep PLAB in your timeline.
Hello Ibreez! What is your take on how should we rank foundation schools, I mean what criteria should we consider apart from its geographic location?
Hello
The rotations offered, what services the hospital(s) have, and the junior doctor contracts of the respective areas.
@@RoadToUK hello bro
@@RoadToUK what is this send detail
Hi , in november I start first year of internship in my country ,can I sit plabs during this time ? and after completion of first year of internship apply for full registration? I 'm thinking to be ready with all exams passed just before finishing the internship.Thanks
hello brother i also have same doubt facing now….What did you did in that case ?
Plz answer my question.
If i score low on EPM what happen? Not the SJT
Your overall rank will be low which will affect job offers based on your preferences. The person whose overall rank is high gets their top preferred job offer.
Do I need to fly to the UK for the clinical assessment test for those who have graduated 2 years or more ago? Visa issues might delay, how do I navigate this problem when applying for FYP?
Yes, the exam is only conducted in the UK.

I am a 5th year medicine student from ukraine due to war there is online classes… After completion of my degree can i apply for UKFP
Please reply
Thankyou
Hi Ibreez! Thank you for another informative video. I love and appreciate your efforts 💟.
I completed my internship in India and unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the plab exams are being postponed. Can we take up the ukfp after we completed the internship in the home country. If yes, then do we enter the uk via the tier 2 visa?. Thanks in advance
No. UKFP is only valid if you have not completed an acceptable pattern of internship.
@@RoadToUK hey, for UKFP which IELTS should be given, the academic or the general training?, If u guys have any idea about it, it will be an huge help😅
I have few questions apu. And it will be very kind of you if you clear out my confusion please.
1) is ukfp the only option to do fy1? Or after completing plab 1 n plab 2 we can search for fy1? Or do we only have to go through the process which you described here ?
2) is it possible to complete plab 1 n plab 2 and then go back to home country and do one year internship?
3) I graduated last year from Ukraine and took admission in PG in here and preparing for my Plab 1 alongside. I didn’t do internship yet.so what process map will be better for me you think?
If you have already completed an acceptable pattern of internship back home, you are not eligible for UKFP. You could apply for non training FY1 jobs, but they would not be via UKFP.
@@RoadToUK i didn’t go back to my country for internship, i took admission in PG and continuing here. So will that be a problem if i do my internship later?
No but you'll need to explain the gap to GMC.
Hello ma'am .. I have done medical education from philippines , so in the final year of med school we have 12 months of clinical clerkship ..am I eligible for full gmc registration through plab ?
Does this clerkship meet the criteria for an acceptable pattern of internship in the UK?
@@RoadToUK yes it does but is there any problem with name clerkship??
@@RoadToUK please reply thank you.
Hello, thank you for everything. I have a question do they accept internship year before graduating. Bcz I’ll get my diploma this year after finishing internship year??
It’s a bit confusing because i can graduate only after finishing my 12 month internship…
hi have u get the answer? i also confuse about that
@@ksrdelia3779 unfortunately no..
You mean a pregraduate internship?
@@RoadToUK yes
JazakAllah for the video, I've scored more than 400 in 3 subtests however scored 360 in one subject so does that mean i won't be able to apply for ukfpo?
Unfortunately no, unless you retake the exam.
After completing MBBS and 1year internship here in Bangladesh, can I get into CT1 directly (NHS)? Or the foundation years there are compulsory?
Foundation years are not compulsory. You can either enter a non training CT1 or training CT1. Training CT1 posts require CREST and competencies.
@@RoadToUK that means I can go for CT1 (training)instead of FY2 after 1year internship?
What about full GMC registration? As far as I know it's given after completion of FY2
Is it necessary to do our internship in uk ... Orelse can we do other countries as well which is having acceptable criteria by gmc .. why becoz I am asking this IS INTERNSHIP IN UK being a rule for IMG s to get eligible ?? Or doing in other countries also can be eligible??
If you meet the acceptable pattern of internship criteria set out by GMC, you can complete your internship anywhere.
Mam,do u feel it is an opportunity for students of bd completing their final Prof or the opportunity is too tough to catch for us??Or has it uncertainty in it??Thanks....
If you plan for it, there's no reason it wouldn't be possible.
Hi, thanks for the video
But can you help to clear out something , I would like to register for ukfp but like you said I need to be a graduate with a certificate which mean my mbbs is 6yrs in which is 5yr +1 yr of internship does that make me ineligible? or after my 5th yr I can apply for ukfp and use a letter from dean in application.
Thank you
If you complete an acceptable pattern of internship, you are not eligible for UKFP.
@@RoadToUK if not eligible for UKFP, what rout should be taken?
@@RoadToUKhii what is an acceptable pattern pf intership? For example
Can we only do one year from the 2 years of UKFP to get full registration?
Bcz i want to end up in Australia(competent authority pathway) in that i only have to take PLAB exams and work one year in the uk
Sorry we have no idea what Australia will accept
Hello, thank you for all the informations, really appreciate that. I have a question, so the UK medical students take their PSA exam (prescription safety assessment) in their final year. So as an international student, when and how would we take that before starting the FY1 ?
If needed, it would likely be during FY1
Does the rank matter to join in fy1 or it is just to give student a chance to select their preference place ?
The rank is what allows you to get the preference you want as you've chosen it.
Hello I'm a final year medical student
And I'm intending of taking ukfp rout
But I'm scared about plab booking which is so difficult these days ....and the window for booking closes so fast as well as it's for the whole next year .....
Please I appreciate your help
There have been situations where UKFP helps in booking if you are found eligible.
What's the selection/acceptance rate for FY1 positions? Are their enough positions for all the applicants?

hi, how do I find out whether I have to take the PLAB exam or not?
Please see: ruclips.net/video/0CM1fyQCfIM/видео.html
ok m confused now plz clear this as i will be graduating this month nd applying for PLAB so my question is any IMG getting into UK via PLAB route is supposed to sit for SJT?? or its just- IELTS, PLAB 1 and than PLAB 2 (bcoz ive heard that these r the only exams v r supposed to give and than apply for NHS jobs) plz clarify
SJT is only for UKFP and the standalone program.
Can IMG done from GMC recognized college from Malaysia need plab exam to register for gmc
Yes
Hello, Great Channel!
Can you please tell me how long does it take for a fully registered GMC applicant (immigrant) to land a job?
In the foundation program or outside of it?
@@RoadToUK In the foundation program, UKFPO
@@watvervlend1299 It's a national recruitment- you wait for the application portal to open and apply. This happens once a year.
@@RoadToUK And after you apply? when do we get a selected seat? approximately?
Hii.. I want to ask about the foreign degree requirement for GMC. Is it ecfmg?
What do you mean?
Do IMGs need to take the SJT if they’re applying for FY2 after GMC registration via the PLAB route?
SJT is necessary to get into any UKFP training post- training FY1 of FY2 standalone. For non-training FY2 level jobs there is no SJT. Only application and interview.
@@RoadToUK what of ranking? Do IMG wanting to join a NON-training job still have to rank? Since they don't have to write the SJT? What route do they take instead? Considering they've done an acceptable pattern of internship
@@midastouch2879 for non training jobs, you apply for a specific job advertisement and if yiu get called you get an interview. Most IMGs keep applying for jobs in the jobs site until they find one.

Hi Ibreez! I am a medical graduate awaiting internship in my home country. If I complete my internship in Paediatrics and Gynae obs , and then do one year here can I apply for a job skipping FY 1 and FY 2
Hi
Hower u
Yes.
Am an Indian ug and wanted to do my pg in uk ...as in India we will be paying a certain amount of fee to the respective university for our pg ..so is there any kind of paying fee for fy2 level or ct1 level or any level for getting done my pg there to the UK???
Nope. Please also see: ruclips.net/video/OEWSOoTzI6Y/видео.html
After doing an internship for two years can we work directly at UK or we have to right an exam still.?
After internship in the UK?
Due to the pandemic, I have been stuck in another country and have had to do my last 3 semesters of MBBS through online classes. Will this be a problem anywhere along the process of getting a GMC registration?
If your college is providing you with full graduation and your college is listed with WDOMS, then it should not be a problem.
Your PMQ will get primary source verified by EPIC in the process of GMC registration anyway.
@@RoadToUK thank you
China
@@Doctor-strange98 yes, sadly.
I have done oet and plab. Do I need to go through UKFP or can I directly apply for job? Does UKFP support any visa for IMG?
Are you eligible for UKFP?
How is this programme beter to enter UK than direct PLAB pathway after doing internship in home country.
I guess its not it ll take a year more.
In home country we can save that year do the house job and clear the plabs in between and enter at Fy2 level
Whats your say ?
If you can join UKFP, the weight of gaining your foundation competencies is also upon the trainers because you are in a structured training.
But joining independently as a non-trainee doctor, that weight of getting your equivalence signed off (CREST) is completely your headache. (Many IMGs gets it done and we have a FREE course guiding this path as well)
And without this equivalence certificate signed off you can't apply in any higher specialty or GP training.
So, at the end of the day- it's your call. If you complete a GMC approved internship back home- you can't join UKFP.
Being an IMG, graduated in 2021 , no internship done yet, can I start the UKFPO process, and simultaneously an internship outside UK, by the time I get accepted into UKFP next year, I would have my Internship done ....in this case, where I should begin, FY2 ??
If you get an acceptable pattern of internship elsewhere, that means you are eligible to apply for Full GMC registration. Which makes you ineligible to start UKFP.
You can start from FY2 standalone but that application is separate from application for FY1. Please watch this video: ruclips.net/video/38EG936Dx5I/видео.html
Thanks a lot for responding, If I am more interested in being a GP (with a certificate) in UK, can I enroll directly in Widening Access to Specialty Training (WAST) programme without passing one year in FY2 standalone ???
in this case, how many years I must complete to get a GP certificate ???? and how ???
