The National SFP Teaching Series

Welcome to the second lecture in the National SFP Teaching Series. This is a series covering every aspect of your application for an SFP training post in the UK. It is run by SFP doctors from around the country who wish to share what they learned about the process from considering applying for an SFP, going ahead with the application and interview process, to finally securing a post.

This second lecture will be covering why you should apply for a Specialized Foundation training programme (SFP), and this talk will take place at 19:30 on Wednesday 20th September 2023, free for all on the Medall platform.

We will be covering the pros and cons of carrying out an SFP, breakdown the tracks available and how to rank your preferences, as well as have deanery-specific breakout rooms for individualized Q&As.
