Our foundation programme is a well supervised programme dedicated to the education and development of foundation doctors. The F1 year is three 4-month placements, one of which will be in Acute Care (Acute Care Unit or Emergency Medicine). This placement helps to improve your management of the sick patient in a supervised team. Our educational supervisors have been selected and trained to help you in your foundation training.
