F1 Sign Off
The GMC has responsibility for the F1 year to ensure that provisionally registered doctors have acquired and demonstrated the required competences before they are granted full registration. The outcomes required to be demonstrated by F1 doctors can be found in The New Doctor 2007.
The NETFS has a zero tolerance policy in regards to F1 and F2 sign off. Foundation Doctors who have not completed the necessary assessments satisfactorily will not be signed off and will be unable to progress.
The F1 Sign Off Process for 2009 can be downloaded here from the panel on the right.
The deadline for the receipt of sign off documentation in the NETFS is 19th June 2009.
If you are not signed off and wish to appeal against the decision please follow the F1 & F2 appeals policy that can be found on the London Deanery website .
