The Academic Foundation Programmes for Severn are based in either North Bristol NHS Trust (Frenchay or Southmead Hospital) or University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust (Bristol Royal Infirmary). The F1 year will allow the newly qualified doctor to gain experience in a range of medical and surgical placements. The F2 year comprises an academic block of 4 months, during which the F2 doctor will undertake a research project (for list of research themes see our Programme Descriptions webpage) and continue with 1 day per week clinical work. For the remaining 8 months of the F2 year, doctors will undertake more specialised medical training, eg General Practice, ITU, paediatrics, whilst continuing 1 day per week of academic work. During the F2 year doctors will also attend the Research Methods course designed specifically for Academic Foundation doctors.
The full two year programmes in Severn are detailed below, with more information available from our Programme Descriptions webpage.
