NYECFS Trainee Representatives
Overview
Our school representatives are important members of the school team, and the trainees' voice on several committees, locally, regionally, and also nationally. Election to F1 rep usually takes place in October each year. From 2010, F2 representatives are also elected within each trust. Each trust/site has its own reps and from these, one F1 and one F2 rep become the school reps.
- Grimsby: 1 F1 and 1 F2
- Hull: 2 F1 and 2 F2
- Scunthorpe: 1 F1 and 1 F2
- Scarborough: 1 F1 and 1 F2
- York: 1 F1 and 1 F2
When there is an election, the 'election' tab will be available for viewing and voting.

F1: Adnan Raja
Up until a couple of months ago I had never travelled further north than Birmingham, I never studied at HYMS Medical School, and I had never seen signs for 'The South' on a motorway before. However I don’t see these as disadvantages for applying for the role as the NYEC Foundation School Trainee Representative, instead I feel this gives me a unique exterior perspective into how things run at our Foundation School. more . . .
I’ve always been an active member of organisations and societies playing roles that have influenced the outcome of fellow member’s educational experience. During my final year in medical school I designed a study to gather information from students, doctors and lecturers about their ideas of our curriculum at the time. The data from this study was used directly to help create a framework to base our future curriculum on, a process that is currently ongoing as we speak.
Given the nature of the job I feel that I would be an ideal candidate to fulfil the role as a representative of a member of bodies. Apart from implementing necessary organisation and communication skills, I also intend to combine my work ethic and sheer enthusiasm to help execute policies that will both benefit our education and the education of future Foundation Programme trainees. I will always strive to absorb all the information that is passed through me in order to make the most justified and representative decisions, ultimately having a significant impact on our current and future training.

I am a Foundation Year Two Trainee who is currently working for Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust. I lived in the West Midlands before moving to Hull for what it has got to offer. So, I ranked Yorkshire and Humber, and subsequently Hull, as my first choice. I was elected as an F1 Representative by my colleagues in my trust to represent and express their views to the NYEC Foundation School. Later on, I became NYEC F1 representative. more . . .
Also, I am BMA UK Junior Doctors Committee member, representing BMA Yorkshire Regional Junior Doctors Committee. As you might be able to tell, I get involved in various aspects affecting Doctors in Training in Yorkshire region.
Working with NYEC Foundation School and my local trust, here are few things I have been involved in and currently working on:
- Trying to find a practical solution for Rota gaps
- Making sure the Junior Doctors Locum Claim Form is fair
- Attending Inter Deanery Transfer Panel for this region
- Promoting Hull Doctors' Mess, including Free Lunch events
- Discussing and approving the Trust's Travel and Relocation Policy for Junior Doctors
- Raising F1s queries to the Foundation Programme Training Directors and Foundation School Director
- Supporting some of my F1 colleagues who needed some clarification of certain aspects of the e-portfolio
- Making sure the deadline for F2 matching is accurate on the School Website for this year matching process
- Planning to take part in the Overseas Doctors Induction day for the next year take
- Planning to include certain information in the F1s induction day next year (Doctors Mess, LNC, travel expenses, etc)
- Collate information from the trainee to feedback to the Foundation School on how the Foundation programme is being implemented
