North Yorkshire and East Coast (NYEC) Foundation School
NYEC Foundation School is part of the Yorkshire & the Humber Unit of Application, along with South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire Foundation Schools. This means that you apply to Yorkshire & the Humber as a whole and then rank the programes across the Schools according to preference - therefore you might rank NYEC programmes above those of West and South Yorkshire Schools, if NYEC was your preference.

Appointment to F2 Programmes
Successful applicants are allocated to a one year programme with matching during the first year.
The second allocation is based on trainee preferences. It is not based on application forms, scoring or ranking to determine the allocations.
Trainees must move Trust between the years, with one year spent in a teaching hospital, and one year spent in a DGH. A very small number of applicants may move from York to Hull or vice versa (i.e. they may be allocated to a teaching hospital Trust for both years). You can find more information about NYEC Foundation School's policies on F2 allocation here.
