This means that foundation doctors should complete their first year of foundation training in the foundation school considering their application.12.22Deaneries/foundation schools should publish their policy on acquisition of foundation competences outside of the UK and make this available to those applying to the Foundation Programme. Not all deaneries/foundation schools support F2 abroad.12.23Prospective approval must be granted if the training outside of the UK is to count towards the requirements for satisfactory completion of the Foundation Programme. It is the foundation doctors responsibility to arrange a suitable placement and confirm that the unit has agreed to provide training, assessment and support in accordance with the requirements for satisfactory completion of the Foundation Programme.7.94Medical students and foundation doctors must act in accordance with the GMCs guidance in Good Medical Practice on accepting posts and then refusing them, i.e. they must give the foundation school sufficient time to make suitable arrangements to meet patient and service needs.

In the UK, the quality of training provided by F2 posts is assured by the GMC through Postgraduate Deaneries quality control mechanisms. 2.The Foundation Programme Reference Guide does allow trainees to undertake F2 training outside the UK. But the acquisition of information about the quality and propriety of overseas posts for Foundation Training presents a particular challenge. The following need to be assured:a. the training, supervision and experience is appropriateb. the F2 trainee will have the opportunity to gain F2 competencies and to undertake the necessary assessments c. the post will deliver the F2 curriculum 3.Prospective approval of an overseas placement for F2 training will require the overseas hospital to provide evidence that it can meet all the requirements for Sign Off, ie:a. it delivers high quality training programmes for doctors at a similar stage of experienceb. it will enable UK F2 trainees to develop skills and achieve the required F2 competenciesc. it can deliver the F2 curriculum (http:/www.foundationprogramme.nhs.uk/pages/home/key-documents)d. it will provide appropriate clinical and educational supervision e. it will provide a named educational supervisor/trainer who will provide supervision/mentorship for the F2 trainee and ensure (with colleagues) that the F2 trainee fulfils all e-portfolio requirementsf. it will provide the trainee with access to career advice and support4.Programmes must be 12 months in duration and include substantive posts in at least two, and ideally three but no more than four, specialties5.The trainee must, whilst in the placement, cover the topics outlined in the F2 curriculum http:/www.foundationprogramme.nhs.uk/pages/home/key-documents6.A record must be kept of all annual, sickness and study leave.
