Within the two South Thames Foundations Schools career planning is embedded within the foundation curriculum, with locally provided activities to introduce career-planning tools. These tools are linked into a four-stage career-planning framework:
During the two-year foundation programme this four-stage framework can be used for career planning and form the basis of discussions with local trust based educational supervisors. Further information on how the four stages can be spread over the two years is shown on this timeline.
What you choose for the next stage of your career should be a personal decision. Do please ensure that you make use of a planned approach and investigate career options fully before making that decision.
Choosing the right specialty is a critical decision that all junior doctors face each year. Our handbook is designed to support both trainees and their supervisors throughout the career planning process, and is packed with useful information to help you get the most from your training and career.
