NYEC Foundation School have drawn up the following outline guidance for doctors progressing to F2 and appointed to two year programmes in the NYEC foundation school:

• Each year should be based in a different hospital/trust.
• One year is aligned to a teaching hospital, and one year aligned to a district general hospital.
• All two year programmes should contain an acute care post (A&E, acute medical admissions, or critical care/anaesthesia).
• Ideally, all two year programmes should contain a primary care post.
• All two year programmes should be equivalent for entry into ANY specialty training programme.
• Programmes should have a variety of placements, with avoidance of unnecessary post duplication.
• NYECFS F1s will be asked to select five choices for their F2 year.  These options will be based on the F1 post and in line with the MMC guidance.
• To ensure fairness, it will not be permissible to select more than three F2 programmes from any one trust.
• Priority for Hull and York F2 posts will go to F1 doctors in Grimsby, Scunthorpe, and Scarborough.  A small number of F1 doctors in Hull may be successfully matched to York and vice-versa dependent on demand.

• Academic programmes have a different recruitment process, and will not be available through the matching process.  Details may be found in the vacancies section of this site and on the Yorkshire Deanery web site.

• There may be occasion where an individual is placed into a second year programme for educational or personal reasons.  Such decisions will be made after consultation with educational supervisor/s, the programme director, and the director of school.
