The Post is suitable for any Medical Graduate who has obtained GMC full registration in order to work in the UK. Previous NHS exposure (e.g. clinical attachments) is advantageous but is not essential.

This post is a standalone Trust F1 post and the post holder will NOT be part of the South Thames Foundation School (STFS).

Although these appointments are not accredited for training, the appointees will be expected to participate fully in the educational and training programmes within each department and the hospital. Appointees will have a named Educational Supervisor. Annual leave and study leave is commensurate with other post foundation doctors. The experience and opportunities offered provide excellent experience for applicants particularly planning a career in Surgery. At completion of the Trust F1 year, the appointee would be at a level equivalent to that of a Foundation year trainee and would have an excellent basis for entering F2 training or Junior Clinical Fellow posts.
