Foundation Programme
which provides training for
new doctors after graduation through a series of placements in
different specialties. It forms the bridge between university-level
study at medical school, and specialist or general practice train-
ing. It consists of a series placements, each lasting four months,
which allow the junior doctor, known as a trainee, to sample dif-
ferent specialties, for example paediatrics. A year one trainee
(FY1)
corresponds to pre-registration house officer
(PRHO)
posts and a year two trainee (
FY2)
to senior house officer
(SHO)
posts. Each trainee has an educational supervisor who ensures that
more senior doctors deliver training in different ways, including
clinical and educational supervision. To progress, trainees have to
demonstrate a range of clinical competencies which are assessed
through observation in their workplace.
