Foundation Training

The Foundation Programme (FP) is a two year generic training programme which forms the bridge between medical school and Specialty/General Practice Training. During the Foundation Programme, trainees have the opportunity to gain experience in a series of placements in a variety of specialties and healthcare settings.

Specialty Training

Within NHSE West Midlands we coordinate and facilitate the training of secondary care specialties within the West Midlands.

We work closely with clinicians in every specialty either through a School structure and / or through a Specialty Training Committee, to provide the highest possible quality education and training for our trainees.

Have Your Say: Complete the National Education and Training Survey (NETS)!

NHS England is committed to enhancing the quality of education and training for over 250,000 learners and trainees across a variety of clinical roles in the NHS. To support continuous improvement, we conduct the National Education and Training Survey (NETS) each year, offering a platform for healthcare learners and trainees to share their experiences and shape the future of healthcare education. 

Since 2019, NETS has been the only national survey open to all healthcare students, trainees, and apprentices, including resident doctors and dentists in postgraduate training.

The survey covers key themes like induction, clinical supervision, facilities, learning opportunities, and teamwork.

Your feedback helps us make informed decisions to enhance learning environments, support retention and recruitment.
