They have otherwise met all competencies, and have received (or are expected to receive) an Annual Review of Competency Progression (ARCP) Outcome 1, meaning they are expected to progress normally to their next placement, and gain full GMC registration at the expected time. They have also had 5 days of compassionate leave, and have taken 3 days of industrial action, totalling 18 days during their FY1 year. If an FY1 doctor is approaching their 20-day TOOT allowance, they should raise this with their local Foundation School Director early, so individual arrangements can be put in place.Īn FY1 has been too unwell to attend work for 10 days of their training year. The doctor would then gain full registration once the time element of FY1 had been completed, and would subsequently progress normally throughout the remainder of their Foundation Programme. Following review, if required, FY1 can be completed in the first days of the second year of practice, ‘borrowing’ the time from FY2. FY1 is considered the year of medical practice, and is one of the purposes of provisional GMC registration.įY1s do need to complete this time element, but in practice if they exceed their 20-day TOOT allowance, the GMC supports foundation school directors applying flexibility to reflect the nature and history of absence, the timing and the effect of the absence on achieving the necessary outcomes. FY1 has a time-based component to it this is due to an EU directive which states basic medical training should comprise at least 5,500 hours, and should include one full year of medical practice prior to full registration.
