THE FOUNDATION DOCTOR · SELF-CHECK

Where do you feel steady, and where not yet?

Last updated: 2026-10-28

A 10-minute self-reflection: 24 “I can…” statements across six areas of Foundation work. Rate how confident you feel today, then see where to start. It is not a test and gives no score.

Your local induction and your supervisors come first. Where your trust, foundation school or supervisor says something different, follow them.

How this works

Read each “I can…” statement and pick how confident you feel today. There are no right answers. This is a self-reflection tool, not an assessment: it does not measure, score or profile your competence, and it is not part of your ePortfolio. It is not part of your ARCP and does not replace feedback from your supervisors. Use what you notice as a starting point for a conversation with your educational supervisor. Each statement shows the Foundation Professional Capability (FPC) it relates to, using the names in the UKFP Curriculum 2021 (2026 revision).
