You can only be provisionally registered with the GMC for 1125 days i.e. you would need to complete FY1 within 1125 days of graduating or you will not be able to register with the GMC again.

AFAIK best thing to do is complete F1 as that = full reg.

That would be unusual. FY1 is generally considered the biggest 'step up' you will ever undergo so taking a long time away beforehand is not logical.

There is a natural career break 2 years after graduation before specialising. That is the time for a year or two out.
