Due to be implemented in the summer of 2005, the Foundation Years programme has been devised to be the bridge between medical school and specialist training for all junior doctors embarking on a career in medicine. With an emphasis on clinical skills and rotating through a greater number of different disciplines, this new programme ensures doctors get a better grounding in preparation for specialising.

Forming part of our best selling Get Through series of titles, Get Through the Foundation Years: A handbook for junior doctors will surely be just the title every new doctor needs to get them through these crucial years.
