Programmes & Job Descriptions; Trust Contacts
The Peninsula Foundation School matches to two year foundation programmes. We DO NOT offer a F1 Swaps process, nor do we allow individuals to arrange their own F1 swap, so once allocated, it is not possible to swap your F1 programme or location. We do however currently offer a F2 Programme Swaps Process.
From entry to Foundation F1 2026 the Peninsula Foundation School will be using Groups for the first time. We have taken this decision due to the rapid expansion in the number of posts available in the Peninsula in recent years. This has made the task of ranking all of our programmes more onerous. Also by splitting our programmes into each trust location for F1 you will know which trust location you will be allocated to at the Group Allocation stage (* apart from see note below on oversubscription) allowing you to plan for accommodation at an early stage in the process.
PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE A SMALL NUMBER OF PROGRAMMES (Approximately 21 programmes out of 310) THAT HAVE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS FROM THE F1 YEAR FOR THE F2 YEAR therefore whichever group you are allocated to we cannot guarantee that you will be in the same trust for both years.
The Five Groups will be as follows in alphabetical order:
Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust - Cornwall - PINK on Programme List
Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust- EAST - Exeter GREEN on Programme List
Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust- WEST- North Devon BLUE on Programme List
Torbay & South Devon NHS Foundation Trust - Torbay PURPLE on Programme List
University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust - Plymouth ORANGE on Programme List
*In the last few years there has been oversubscription of the Foundation Programme nationally. In the event of National Oversubscription the UKFPO may create an additional Placeholder Group. We will not be able to confirm programme details or location of any of the programmes within this Placeholder Group until much later in the process. If you are allocated to the Placeholder Group you will be contacted on Group allocation day to advise the next steps we will take as a school and how we will support you.
