Introduction
Final year medical students are to be offered early provisional registration and foundation year 1 (FY1) doctors early full registration with the General Medical Council to help staffing levels during the covid-19 pandemic, a joint statement from regulatory and training bodies released on 25 March says.
The statement from the UK health departments, the GMC, Health Education England, NHS Education for Scotland, Health Education and Improvement Wales, the Northern Ireland Medical and Dental Training Agency, and the Medical Schools Council states that final year medical students who have been deemed by their medical school to have met the GMC’s outcomes for graduates can graduate early.
