The Northern Deanery had the first academic foundation programme in the UK and currently has twelve posts (nine based in Newcastle and three in Teesside).
Academic Foundation posts are designed to provide generic research training, and the Newcastle model has three four month blocks for both F1 and F2 years with one four month block in each year as the academic period. The other blocks in F1 are medicine and surgery and in F2 these generally mirror the individual’s academic interests.
Individuals applying for an academic foundation post have a specific interview where foundation and academic issues are considered equally, they are supported by an Academic Foundation Mentor and both academic and clinical progress are assessed.
The way the Newcastle University / Northern Deanery Foundation School Academic Foundation Programme is organised and managed was recently featured at a UKFPO Sharing Notable Practice conference. You can download a copy of the presentation (PDF: 190KB)
