South Yorkshire (SY) Training Programme

South Yorkshire (SY) is one of three Groups in the Yorkshire and Humber Foundation School. We oversee and support training for foundation doctors in six Acute Trust areas in South Yorkshire.

SY work in partnership with NHS England, the UKFPO, the local NHS trusts and Sheffield University Medical School to deliver a Foundation Programme which builds on undergraduate training, complies with the GMC requirements for training set out in the curriculum, and creates the best possible educational and career opportunities for progression into specialty training.

We deliver a highly regarded mandatory professional education Training Programme for both F1 and F2 in addition to a popular weekly F1 lunchtime teaching programme delivered in each trust.  

Our two-year training programmes are tailored to provide each trainee with a variety of clinical placements which are guaranteed to meet the UKFPO and Gold Guide Curricular requirements. 

Since 2014, F1 and F2 posts have been 2 year linked posts, so trainees will know their placements will be for the full two Foundation years. Each training programme consists of 6 placements and where possible include a community and/or GP placement.
