UFP (Universal Foundation Programme)

The Universal Foundation Programme (UFP) is a structured training pathway designed to support new medical graduates transitioning into their first year of practice. It provides a comprehensive induction, tailored clinical placements, and essential competencies to ensure safe and effective patient care. The UFP aims to develop core skills, professionalism, and confidence, bridging the gap between medical school and the responsibilities of qualified doctors. By standardizing early postgraduate training, it promotes consistency, patient safety, and prepares doctors for further specialization or advanced roles in healthcare.
