Each year, the UKFPO recruit two foundation year two (F2) doctors into a part-time fellowship training secondment. During the UKFPO Fellowship, the UKFPO Fellows have the opportunity to acquire, develop and share knowledge and skills in medical education and leadership and are challenged to think and behave differently in the role.
The knowledge and skills acquired through this post provide education and leadership experience and it is anticipated that by the end of the secondment, UKFPO Fellows will be equipped to identify themselves as emerging medical education leaders and to promote and disseminate learning in leadership to others. As part of the training programme, UKFPO Fellows undertake a project or series of projects that align with the goals of the UKFPO. Projects may include the development of training and other materials for the UKFPO and engagement of/presentation to key stakeholders.
The UKFPO Fellowship is open to foundation doctors currently in their F1 year who will be transitioning to their F2 year in August at the start of the next training year. UKFPO Fellows spend an average of 1 day per week (0.2 WTE) working in the role, undertaking a specific project with suitable supervision and with the UKFPO, as representatives of foundation doctors.
