Foundation doctors are encouraged to attend departmental and ward teaching where possible.

Foundation doctors will be expected to maintain their personal e-portfolio. This is to ensure they record their competencies and development.

Severn foundation doctors are allocated an educational supervisor for each year of their Foundation Programme, to maintain an overview of development and progress of the doctor within the training programme.

A clinical supervisor will be allocated for each four-month placement within the rotation.

The post is subject to the Terms and Conditions of Service for NHS Doctors and Dentists in Training (England) 2016 as modified from time to time. See NHS Employers website for details.

F1 doctors are entitled to 27 days annual leave in the year. The 27 days entitlement does not include the 8 statutory holidays. If a foundation doctor works any part of a bank holiday, they are entitled to an additional day's leave in lieu.

In some specialties there is some restriction on when a foundation doctor can take their leave during the 4 months. The individual directorates will inform the foundation doctor of any specific restrictions on when they can take leave.

For all placements, the foundation doctor is required to book their leave at least 6 weeks in advance via the relevant Consultant lead.
