May 2013 North Western Foundation School GMC Registration

Advisory notes for FY1 doctors (Non-Manchester UK Graduates training in the North Western Foundation School)

 If you are a UK Medical School graduate and currently working with provisional registration you will need to apply for full registration in order to progress from FY1 to FY2.

 In order to apply for GMC registration you will need to log into your MyGMC account on the GMC website (www.gmc-uk.org) and follow the relevant instructions on applying for full registration with a license to practise.

 Once you have made an application and paid the registration fee (£185, correct at May 2013) using the online payment facility you will be able to download a copy of the Certificate of Experience (CoE).

The CoE will already be pre-populated with the name of your graduating university, your name and GMC number. All remaining sections of this form must be left blank for completion at the Foundation School affiliated with your graduating university by a pre-authorised signatory.

 Once you have downloaded your CoE you should send this directly to the person responsible for GMC registration at your home medical/foundation school. You may either save this as a word document or a PDF file to email to your GMC coordinator or you may print the certificate and send it by post. Contact details for your local GMC coordinator can be found on the GMC website through the following link http://www.gmc- uk.org/education/foundation_programme_contacts.asp).

 Your Trust Medical Education Centre will provide you with full details of the local ARCP process and FY1 sign off process. This will involve the completion of the 5.1 Attainment of Foundation Year 1 Competence Document (5.1 FACD) on the e-portfolio, Horus.

 The Foundation School Director (FSD) for the North Western School will access your completed e-portfolio to verify that you have been awarded a successful ARCP outcome

May 2013 and that you have indicated your acknowledgment on your portfolio of that outcome. The FSD will then complete the 5.1 FACD to confirm achievement of the FY1 competencies.

 Your completed 5.1 FACD will then be forwarded onto your home school on your behalf.

 Once your home school has received your 5.1 FACD and your CoE an authorised signatory will check and verify that all parts of the 5.1 FACD have been appropriately completed before signing your CoE to confirm achievement of the FY1 competencies.

 Your completed CoE will be sent directly to the GMC by your home school on your behalf.

 Once the GMC have received your CoE they will match this with your online application and payment. Only when all parts are complete will you be granted Full registration and a registration certificate will be sent to you through the post

GMC Registration Timeline

 You will need to liaise with your Trust Medical Education Centre regarding local timelines for the completion of your ARCP and the e-portfolio, Horus.

 The North Western Foundation School’s timeline for 2013 for the completion of the portfolio and submission of your CoE to your home school is as follows:

 Friday 28th June – deadline for trainees to acknowledge their ARCP outcome ready for the 5.1 FACD to be signed

 Wednesday 10th July – deadline for your CoE to reach your home school

 IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are not fully registered by the beginning of August (i.e. the first day of the first FY2 placement) you will not be able to commence your FY2 placement. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all deadlines and that you hold the appropriate level of registration for the level of training.
