New FP recruitment guidance

25 June 2010

A NEW guide on applying for your first hospital job as a doctor has been published.

A team of medical student advisers have helped the UK Foundation Programme Office compile the Foundation Applicant’s Handbook 2011.

It contains a range of useful information on how to apply to the Foundation Programme.

It covers topics including:

• The timeline and process
• Ensuring you’re eligible to apply
• The FPAS application form
• Guidance on references
• How applications are scored

The resource is available in a Word document as well as a Power Point presentation. To download it, visit the UKFPO website
