2-YEAR ACADEMIC FOUNDATION PROGRAMMES AT<br />
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON MEDICAL SCHOOL<br />
(UCL)<br />
1. INTRODUCTION<br />
The North Central Thames Foundation School (NCTFS) is a Foundation School of the<br />
<strong>London</strong> Deanery, based at UCL Medical School.<br />
NCTFS offers 25 academic places, within 8 rotations, comprising different speciality-based<br />
academic programmes. The two-year programmes will deliver the full range of competences<br />
required of the Foundation Programme Curriculum. The F1 Year will be within the <strong>London</strong><br />
area, although not at the same hospital as the F2 year. The F2 programmes will each<br />
include a placement in a centre of academic and research excellence.<br />
Successful applicants will be offered a list of available F1 posts and asked to rank them<br />
according to their preferences. The outcome will depend on their academic application<br />
score.<br />
During F2, all doctors accepted for the academic programme will have:<br />
• A 4-month academic attachment as one element of their 12-month rotation (except for<br />
the Whittington, where the attachment is for 3 months).<br />
• A mentor throughout the year.<br />
• A core programme run throughout the year aimed to develop academic skills.<br />
• Visitor status within the appropriate Division to enable access to UCL on-line library<br />
facilities.<br />
