I believe graduates are eligible for training if they complete their postgrad exams.
I know a msian doctor from UM who is currently on the paediatric training programme in the UK after completing his MRCPCH in Malaysia.

The tagging weeks of each posting are the worst... some department requires you to remain from 6AM - 11PM everyday for 6 days straight (one day off) for two weeks... at the end of the two weeks - some sort of Off-tagging test need to be taken, if you pass you are allowed to join the rest of the HOs working the 'normal hours' and you are considered 'competent-enough' to work night-shift...

A gamechanger. KPJ now offering grad program in ENT, Radiology, Gen Surgery & Ortho

RM200k for ENT for 4 years. RM250k for the rest.

Not a game changer...don't see this going anywhere.... although under kpj, training still done under Moh facilities....it is not possible to train people in the private setting....

Not sure why anyone will want to pay so much money, at the same time no income, working free.....to "train" in Moh hospitals with peers doing it for free while getting pay and advancement in civil service....

I'm hoping eventually he will consider the red dot, much nearer. Anyway, it's their life now.

Heard from relative that there are some f1 doctors from Newcastle Malaysia working in UK now.

No problem with visa, they are the first batch, about 15 of them

unlike standard foundation programme whereby we apply through a national recruitment process for 2 years.
A standalone post means a doctor can apply for a year STANDALONE in either F1 or F2 or both depending on the doctor qualification. (needs to be registered with the GMC, can be a mix of british/eu/foreign)
As quoted of who these doctors are:
"Every year there is a significant cohort of applicants who are not eligible for the foundation programme as
they hold full registration but are too inexperienced in either the NHS and / or clinical experience to apply
for specialty training."
Then, interview process happens and they will be offered depending on availability and etc.

This year was the first year whereby standalone post return after awhile since it was stopped due to excess local doctors. However, due to the lack of graduates accepting foundation posts, places have open up.

They are on the tier 2 visa for internationals. Hence, F1 doctors cant be international since they dont reach the minimum salary.
As quoted:
"At the time offers were made, there were 99 appointable applicants for F1 remaining in the process who
were not subject to Resident Labour Market Tests (RLMT) and who did not require sponsorship for Tier 2.
Applicants for F1 Stand-alone programmes who were subject to RLMT were not eligible due to the fact that
the F1 salary does not meet the minimum salary threshold under the requirements for Tier 2."

they wont have equal opportunity since they still have to be subject to RLMT but they do consist of a small proportion of applicants anyways.

No problem with visa, they are the first batch, about 15 of them

Tier 4 visa for F1-2. Then you apply for CMT/CST jobs towards middle of F2, and once you have a job, you’ll be issued a Tier 2 visa for the duration of that job, 3 to 4 years.
