The Application Process
​
​​Appointment to F2 Programmes
​

Successful applicants are appointed to a 2-year programme; the applicant chooses their F2 programme when they select their F1 programme. On Messly, you can check reviews from junior doctors regarding foundations and rotations, sign-up here.
​
Linked Applications

Every foundation school honours linked applications so that linked applicants are allocated to the same foundation school, but placement in the same hospital of city is not guaranteed.
