NHS Lanarkshire has welcomed 103 new foundation year 1 doctors who will play a vital role in delivering patient care, while gaining invaluable hands-on experience in hospitals and community settings across the region.
These doctors have recently graduated from medical school and will spend the next two years rotating through various specialties across our acute hospitals as part of the UK Foundation Programme.
This training will enable them to develop the practical skills, clinical knowledge and professional confidence needed for the next stages of their medical career as resident doctors.
Lisa McCarroll, Clinical Skills Specialist, said: “We are delighted to welcome our new intake of FY1 doctors.
“This is an important milestone for them, and we are committed to providing the best possible environment for learning and growth.
“Their enthusiasm, dedication, and fresh perspectives will be a real asset to our teams and to the communities we serve.
“They will contribute to frontline care while benefiting from structured supervision and mentorship from senior clinicians.”
Foundation training is a two year programme acting as the bridge between undergraduate medical education and further training to become a general practitioner or specialist.
