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.
