UKFP 2025
The UKFPO manages the recruitment for the Foundation Programme on behalf of the four statutory education health bodies (SEBs) and does not determine programme numbers across the UK.
Each nation determines the number of programmes they will make available and in recent years, despite significant oversubscription, the four nations have increased post numbers, to ensure all eligible applicants have been allocated to a programme.
Details for UKFP 2025 recruitment will be made available following full consideration by each of the four UK SEBs and devolved administrations and these details will be confirmed once the recruitment year begins in autumn 2024.
