The NHS induction programme provides a safe and supported route to NHS employment as a junior doctor. The programme consists of a hands-on clinical and hospital induction, followed by a supported period of NHS employment for up to 2-years.  During our induction block, you visit our clinical skills facility to refine foundation level clinical skills, before being placed into a hospital to gain essential ward experience, practice your clinical skills, shadow on-calls and attend teaching. You are then formally employed by our partner NHS Trusts to work as a junior doctor in the UK at both Foundation Year 1 (FY1) and Foundation Year 2 (FY2) levels. The intention is to provide a baseline of clinical skills, knowledge and experience before supported doctors with their FY2 competencies.
