Foundation Programme Directors (FPDs)

Your Foundation Programme Director (FPD) will not necessarily work with you clinically and may be in a different hospital or in General Practice. They oversee the whole year of training and in many cases both training years. They are your second point of contact after your Educational Supervisor/Clinical Supervisor for any advice and help and you will probably get to know them well over the training year(s).

All of these senior clinicians are here to help you. They have been selected for these posts based on their enthusiasm for training Foundation doctors. Please contact them if you need help. They expect you to contact them if you need to.

Information currently displayed is for training year 2025-2026.
