This is mentioned on the site for foundation system...
Medical School Dean’s Statement - Signed, dated and stamped and completed in English, which comprises:
a. Permission to apply
b. Confirmation that you are of good standing at medical school and considered fit to practise medicine in accordance with UK General Medical Council’s (GMC) Fitness to Practise requirements
c. A verifiable academic ranking (this does not apply for applications relating to the Academic Foundation Programme). (See Note E)
d. Confirmation of whether your primary medical qualification (including instruction, examinations and a significant amount of clinical contact with patients) was/is being undertaken in English.
kindly also tell should there be only one document stating all these or two separate documents one for academic and the other for language..thnx

One document mentioning all, or two separate documents; both are fine. The purpose is information provision through validated papers!

how will u weigh those externships or obsei done under private practioners offered by private agencies against obsei from a univ hospital ??
Is it the quality (say from a private pract or from a attending in univ hospital) of lor that matters or the type of work done ie had u done an observer job or an externship
and those people who offer those paid extern assure that the student will be alllowed to do the job in a hospital under the attending and it is no way different from the hands on elective.
how much is this reliable????
pls reply

Some of them are quite reliable, some are not. Probe in detail before you pay anyone for that.
