You dont apply for residency one you finish FY2, rather on November of of the same year you have started. Hence, 4 months after starting and you send them the COC at the end. You dont waste a year after FY2
first of all , thanks a lot for your videos it helps a lot ❤️ you will a lot if you explain me some confusing points here plz is fy2 standalone pathway is better than applying directly to training job after my internship here in Egypt (which by the way of 2 years duration and can't do my gmc registration except after I take my graduation certificate after this 2 years of internship) so what i need to know here is it easier to get training job when take fy2 from uk or you recommend it because of the experience i would get only and also if its just about oet of 400 score and plab and i get the fy2 standalone easily unlike the low chances nowadays to get training job even all requirements are present i hope u answer my concerns ❤️
I would say, apply for everything because you never know where you are going to be accepted. But, if you have a choice, I would always recommend doing a F2 year before starting a training job in the NHS.
Hey doctor, I applied for the FY2 standalone but my clinical experience is a year of internship and I’m lacking a bit in the practical areas such as catheterization and cannulations do you think I will be able to manage my way through if I get accepted for a position or will I struggle a lot because I hear from a lot of people that is a big responsibility and that they’re struggling a lot. Sorry for the long comment and thanks in advance!
Try to do that in your home country, but even if you didn’t, seeing those procedures once or twice would be enough. With good communication you can get your colleagues support as well.
Hello Sir, I have a question regarding the OET. If my application for next year starts in January can I give the oet exam in feb-March or do I HAVE to have completed the oet before I submit the application ? Or can I even do the OET after the interview in April ? Im unsure about this. Thanks
Dear Dr, thank you very much for this video. My question is, do I have to attach all the documents while filling out the application form or can I upload new documents after the 31st of january?
Good evening, I am doing MD program in a Bulgarian Medical Univeristy. After finishing MD, we'll receive a diploma but no separate internship certificate.

Hello Doctor. I just graduated from my medical school in Hungary. My last year of medical school is equivalent to 1 year of internship so I can apply directly to fy-2 standalone.

Any experience before starting working in the NHS will benefit you, I would say finish everything in Egypt and start in the UK as F2.
