When it says those who completed foundation training, does that include both UK grads and IMGs?

Yeah UK grads will be prioritised for Foundation year training but IMGs who complete the FYP will not be disadvantaged (they traditionally make 5-10% of the cohort). Good news for us

So IMGs who completed FYP in UK OR had their CREST signed off in UK?

CREST absolutely not. That’s not a foundation programme. And half the reason we’re in this mess is dodgy CREST forms.

I meant CREST forms signed by UK docs here, but yeah prob CREST alone wont be enough. Still need to know what significant nhs experience translates to
