The 2025 National Foundation Doctors’ Presentation Day (NFDPD) took place on Friday 17 January 2025, at Sheffield United Football Club, Bramall Lane, Sheffield, S2 4SU.
Foundation doctors from across the UK were invited to submit abstracts relating to Quality Improvement & Sustainability, Education, Research or Original Work and Clinical Case Reports work undertaken during their Foundation Programme training. A total of 561 abstracts were submitted, with 20 selected for 10-minute oral presentations and 164 selected for poster presentations in a “mini-oral” format.

We were privileged to have Dr Navina Evans, Chief Workforce, Training and Education Officer at NHS England, to judge one of the poster categories, and also give the keynote speech. Navina said:
“I was delighted to see foundation doctors showcasing innovative and exciting work in sustainability, education and quality improvement and felt a real hope for the future of our medical profession in the UK. I had the pleasure of delivering the keynote speech at the end of the day to 300 foundation doctors, educators and other faculty, where I spoke about the importance of respect, continuous learning, curiosity and the value of self-care.”
