Foundation Training
The Foundation Programme is a two-year training programme that
forms the bridge between medical school and specialty / general
practice training.
All graduates of UK medical schools are required
to complete the Foundation Programme before applying for
specialty training.
During the Foundation Programme, trainees will have the
opportunity to gain experience in a series of placements in a
variety of specialties and healthcare settings.
Foundation Year 1 (F1)
The first year of the Foundation Programme
builds upon the knowledge, skills and competences acquired in
undergraduate training.
Foundation Year 2 (F2)
The second year Foundation Programme builds on
the first year of training. In F2, the focus is on training in the
assessment and management of the acutely ill patient. Training also
encompasses the generic professional skills applicable to all areas
of medicine – teamwork, time management, communication and IT
skills.
The Foundation Programme has its own dedicated
