DescriptionAn overview of all the options open to F2s on completion of their Foundation Programme including practical advice and information regarding recruitment timescales, processes, taking a break from training and the opportunity to ask specialty trainees about their experiences, tips and hints.
Additional information

Please note: whilst all specialties are invited to send a representative, not all of them do so and we cannot fit all specialties into one day. If there is a particular specialty you are keen to hear from, please email Heather Samuel (heather.samuel@hee.nhs.uk) to request this but we are dependent upon volunteers to present.

An overview of taking time out after Foundation will be included in the day but it is not always possible for former trainees to attend and present: again we are dependent upon volunteers.

Mock interviews will be offered: please email Heather Samuel to request this. 

Whilst we endeavour to accommodate dietary requirements, catering suppliers vary between venues so this cannot be guaranteed. If you have particular dietary requirements, food allergies or intolerances, please contact the course organiser.
