Welcome to Wessex Foundation Year 1

All applicants who have been allocated to Wessex to begin foundation training in July 2026 will be able to access a video of presentations from each of our Trusts.

Current foundation doctors, foundation programme directors and other education staff will take part in the presentations. Applicants will be given contact information to ask questions and discuss the opportunities available to them during their foundation training. There will also be a presentation given by Dr Stephen Taylor, Head of Wessex Foundation School.

We hope that the video will help applicants decide where they would like to work in the Wessex region, and with the process of ranking programmes on the online Oriel application system.

A link to this video will be provided in your welcome letter when you are notified of allocation to Wessex.
