F1 Sign-off & Full GMC Registration
Towards the end of your F1 Foundation Year you will be expected to arrange a meeting at your Trust with your Foundation Training Programme Director (FTPD). They will review your portfolio and complete a Checklist of Evidence Required to complete the 5.1 Attainment of F1 Competence Form. They will then complete your 5.1 Attainment of F1 Competence Form. As part of their sign-off the F1 doctor must also complete a Transfer of Information form for their F2 Trust.
Detailed guidance on the sign-off process for F1 Foundation Doctors in North West Thames Foundation School can be found on Synapse
GMC Registration
UK Graduates should ensure that they contact their Medical School for advice on completion of their GMC Certificate of Experience (CoE) and the deadline for submission. Those in North Thames Schools must email their Certificate of Experience to their Medical School of graduation - Contacts. The Foundation School will forward their 5.1 Attainment of F1 Competence Form to their Medical School. It remains the responsibility of the F1 to ensure that their Medical School receives their Certificate of Experience in time for their Full Registration to proceed.
EEA Graduates and non-EEA Graduates should send their Certificate of Experience to their Foundation School - Contacts with their sign-off documentation, who will complete and sign as appropriate. The signed Certificate of Experience will then be returned to EEA Graduates and non-EEA Graduates. EEA Graduates and non-EEA Graduates are responsible for sending all relevant documentation in relation to gaining their Full Registration to the GMC
Non-NWTFS Imperial College Graduates should read the guidance on the page about registration for non-NWTFS Imperial College F1s on the right.
