Foundation Programme

Foundation Programme

All programmes of medical education and training developed delivered by the Trust are guided by - and mapped to - the Health Education England (HEE) Quality Framework, The General Medical Council (GMC) Promoting Excellence: Standards for Medical Education & Training, and the curriculum requirements determined by the Royal College aligned to each specialty and programme area.

You will note that the curriculum links, HEE and GMC quality domains are clearly identified on all programmes of training, including core and specialty teaching sessions.

What Our Library Users Are Saying...

"Apprentices now have greater access to resources, not only at College or University but in the workplace. The benefits are not solely logistical; the resources and services available to them via the Library & Knowledge Service are current, relevant and varied."

"The library provided me with the evidence base to support a service development of developing a early discharge detox policy. This has improved patient clinical outcomes. This also reduces length of stay and re-attendance at A&E."

"Literature searches carried out by the library staff assisted in the development of a new education program for unregistered staff in response to the Francis report."

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."

"The information I receive has a positive impact in my role as a Non-Executive Director. Over the past year in post I have found the library alerting service to be an invaluable resource it is a great way to be kept informed via the on-line platform that I can access at times to suit."
