Information for Entrants to F2 in August 2009
Current Severn F1 trainees were allocated to a two year programme
when appointed. The Foundation School Committee has decided that
changing your F2 allocation is not permitted, except in
extraordinary circumstances.
May we please draw your attention to the statements regarding F2
allocation in the Operational Framework (http://www.foundationprogramme.nhs.uk/pages/home/key-documents),
pg 28, paras 85 and 86:
85. Foundation doctors should be strongly encouraged to stay in
their appointed foundation school for the whole of their two-year
programme. However, some foundation doctors may want to withdraw
from a foundation training programme so that they can join another
foundation school for F2. If they do not meet the requirements for
an inter-deanery transfer (IDT), they will have to apply for an
advertised F2 post. Before applying, foundation doctors should
discuss this with their educational supervisor and get appropriate
career advice.
86. Foundation doctors need to know about the GMC’s rules on
accepting posts and then refusing them, without allowing the
foundation school enough time to make suitable arrangements to meet
patient and service needs (Good Medical Practice, paragraph 49). A
doctor who has been allocated F2 training in their original
foundation school will be expected to take it up and must not then
withdraw from it unless they have the foundation school director’s
agreement. The doctor will be expected to meet the terms and
conditions of their contract if they want to resign.
