Foundation Programme
F1 and F2
The Foundation Programme is the two years of training that UK doctors do straight after medical school.
Summary
- The years are called Foundation Year 1 and Foundation Year 2, or F1 and F2.
- In F1, new doctors begin to take supervised responsibility for patient care.
- Completing F1 leads to a recommendation for full registration with the regulator.
- Completing F2 shows a doctor is ready for core, specialty or general practice training.
