FY1

Is there always a gap between graduation and starting FY1 for UK graduates? I heard for IMGs the eligibility have to be checked after graduation but still one year before the placement, so a gap year is inevitable?
Graduates of UK medical schools who apply to the Foundation Programme, start immediately. Ie apply for FP during final year of medical school, graduate in the July and then start FY1 in the August.

Can an IMG do that too? While being in the medical school?
