YHFS Strategy for Foundation Teaching Post COVID
We appreciate that in these exceptional times that we need to be more flexible with Foundation teaching requirements. The current situation we are in means face to face meetings will be more limited and we need to have an entrepreneurial approach to how we facilitate this.
This is a proposed structure for how things could be adapted.
Constraints:
Social distancing and Trust variability in room size and IT platforms. (IT platform options being looked at by HEE)
One size will not fit all
Opportunities:
Trainees and trainers becoming much more comfortable with virtual platforms
60 hours per year teaching log
SDT for Foundation doctors
Script increased usage
Sharing best practice
Bank of teaching materials / shared regional resources
Generic support:
TPD Zoom licences
HEE National Website Platform (we should be able to have a YH section)
National resources e.g. East Anglia WAM https://vimeo.com/407649011 and https://vimeo.com/410596499
“How to do Zoom sessions” – help in how to set up virtual teaching. HEE is looking at this and further guidance to follow
Shared regional resources would need a generic platform. TBC

The UKFPO and YHFS are continuously inundated with requests to survey Foundation trainees about participation in Research studies.
So that our trainees are not bombarded with requests, the UK FP Board agreed the attached process for the distribution of surveys/research (see the bottom of this page). If we are asked by a local trainee &/or researcher within YHFS to distribute research surveys, YHFS will decide whether we send it out to the trainees within YHFS without going through this process, but we will not send it for wider circulation without following the process below / request being approved.
