Course Overview

The General Medical Council (GMC) approves your universitys degree as a primary medical qualification (PMQ). This is important because, provided there are no concerns about your fitness to practise, a PMQ entitles you to provisional registration with the GMC for a licence to practise medicine in the UK. For more details visit Postgraduate foundation training and beyond. Provisionally registered doctors can only practise in approved Foundation Year 1 posts, obtained through the national application process during the final year of the course. Normally, all suitably qualified UK graduates secure a place but this cannot be guaranteed. Successful completion of the programme is normally achieved within 12 months and awards a Certificate of Experience. You can then apply for full registration with the General Medical Council. You need this and a licence to practise unsupervised medical practice in the UK for both NHS and private practice. Overseas Medical students studying in the UK who do not have the right of residence must check how the latest visa requirements affect their postgraduate training period.
