Summary

The Foundation Programme (Box 15.1) was instituted in 2005 and brought together the preregistration house officer grade and the first year of the senior house officer grade (UK Foundation Programme Office 2015). This created an integrated two-year programme, governed by a single curriculum produced by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (2016). The majority of students completing undergraduate medical training in the UK will enter the Foundation Programme directly after leaving medical school.
