How do I bid for a slot in the academic posts or shortage specialties?
Bids for shortage specialties will be managed locally by the postgraduate dean who will decide on the final allocations of specialties to be used in the Foundation Programme. This will take account of local variations in specialty recruitment and retention. The exact procedure for allocating funding for academic medicine placements is still being discussed. Interested departments should discuss what academic opportunities they can offer with the postgraduate dean.
