10. Progressing as a foundation doctor and completing the Foundation Programme10.7 Regular review of progress and clear lines of communication enable the earlyidentification of foundation doctors needing additional help. Guidance on theidentification, support and management of doctors in difficulty is set out in10.27 – 10.28.10.8 The foundation school must publish its timeline for the review of progress by theFTPD/T. It is the responsibility of foundation doctors to collect evidence of theirprogress in their e-portfolio.10.9 Where possible, the FTPD/T should convene a panel comprising at least two membersto consider whether the foundation doctor has met the requirements for satisfactorycompletion. All members of the panel should have completed equality and diversitytraining usually within the last three years. The foundation doctor should typicallyonly attend if there are concerns that the requirements have not been met (see 10.42 –10.65).10.10 If the FTPD/T or panel is satisfied that the foundation doctor has met the requirements,the FTPD/T should sign the Attainment of F1 Competence form. It is recommendedthat the FTPD/T or panel use a check-list to confirm that they have considered all of therequirements and add any comments to explain the judgment.10.11 The Attainment of F1 Competence form, with any supporting documentation, shouldbe forwarded to the FSD of the current foundation school (or other authorisedsignatory), who should counter-sign the form if satisfied that the foundation doctorhas met the requirements for satisfactory completion of F1.10.12 There should be a similar arrangement for monitoring the progress of foundationdoctors training flexibly and adjustments made to the timetable for the review by theend of 12 months.10.13 Universities/medical schools or their designated representative in the deaneries use theAttainment of F1 Competence form when completing the Certificate of Experience tocertify that a provisionally registered doctor has satisfactorily completed a programmefor provisionally registered doctors.Requirements for satisfactory completion of the Foundation Programme10.14 The requirements for satisfactory completion of the second year of the FoundationProgramme with guidance notes are set out in Table 2 as overleaf.

If thisis the case, the FTPD/T should discuss this with the FSD. This shouldinclude the evidence required below.It is recommended that postgraduate centres (or equivalent) providea record of attendance for each F2 doctor. It has been agreed thatan acceptable attendance record should typically be 70%. However,if the F2 doctor has not attended 70% of teaching sessions for goodreasons, it may still be appropriate to confirm that the F2 doctorhas met the required standard. If there are concerns regardingengagement or if attendance is below 50%, the FTPD/T should discussthis with the FSD.F2 doctors should record how they have demonstrated each outcome.The Curriculum requires F2 doctors to maintain and improvetheir skills in the procedures required by the GMC for successfulcompletion of F1. By the end of F2, foundation doctors should beable to help others with difficult procedures and guide F1 doctors inteaching others.The Curriculum requires that F2 doctors have been actively involvedin undertaking a clinical audit, and recognise how it relates tothe improvement of clinical standards and addresses the clinicalgovernance agenda.The UK Foundation Programme: Reference Guide48
