UKFPO Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA)

The PSA is a computerised assessment provided by the British Pharmacological Society (BPS) that all foundation year one doctors are required to pass to complete the F1 year. Most UK graduates pass the PSA at medical school. The few who don't, and all international medical graduates in F1, are supported to sit this assessment during F1. The UKFPO funds this. (The UKFP Curriculum (page 46) stipulates this specific assessment. https://foundationprogramme.nhs.uk/curriculum/)

Additional information: The activities of the UKFPO are jointly funded by the statutory education bodies (SEBs) of the four UK nations (NHSE, NES, NIMDTA and HEIW)
