Thrival guides

See below our thrival guides from a growing range of remote and rural areas, summarising what our foundation doctor mentors wish they had known before arriving at their local hospitals. They cover a variety of useful and practical information such as on-call structure, accommodation, local amenities, outdoor activities, helpful resources, food and drink recommendations, and support.

Disclaimer: These guides are based on the personal experiences of individual doctors and are intended to provide informal tips and insights. They do not represent official UKFPO guidance, are not exhaustive, and experiences may differ from those described.
