Foundation training in Scotland

The Scottish Foundation School provides a wide range of programmes offering a unique experience covering different types of populations, hospitals and specialties as well as geographical diversity.  Information about the Scottish Foundation School and the opportunites we provide can be found on the Scotland Deanery website.

A two-year Foundation Programme is the first stage of postgraduate medical training in the UK following graduation from medical school. Recruitment to the two-year programmes in the Scottish Foundation School is undertaken as part of the UK-wide recruitment process to a national UK agreed timetable.

The 4 regions in Scotland offer different opportunties.  The East and South-East offer a fixed F1 year and North and West offer a 2 year fixed rotation.
