A12: The New Lost Tribe? Exploring the ever increasing FY3 phenomenon

Session objectives:

• An understanding of the current post-foundation trajectory of junior doctors in England.
• An exploration of the reasons behind the increasing number of junior doctors taking an ‘FY3’.
• An opportunity to imagine visions for the future of post-foundation training.

Session summary:
