Purpose
The website helps medical students understand the geography of UK Foundation Schools before consulting definitive recruitment information. Content is written for orientation and comparison, not to provide personalised allocation advice.
Primary sources
Foundation School boundaries and national allocation information are checked against the UK Foundation Programme. Hospital and programme information is checked against Foundation School, NHS organisation and Oriel material where available. Historic first-preference figures are transcribed from UKFPO publications and retain the year and measure used by the source.
What is included
The map focuses on possible hospital sites associated with Foundation training. It is not a list of every NHS facility in a region. Community, general-practice, psychiatry and other non-acute placements may not have a dedicated marker, while a mapped hospital may not offer the same programme in every round.
Verification and dates
Material changes are supported by an official or first-party source wherever possible. Each guide displays a review date. Names and organisational structures may lag behind mergers or programme changes, so users should check the current Oriel listing before acting.
Corrections
A correction should identify the page, the disputed hospital or statement, the proposed replacement and a link to a current authoritative source. Supported corrections are applied to the map, relevant guide and search metadata together so the website remains internally consistent.
Independence and advertising
The resource is independently maintained and is not affiliated with UKFPO, NHS England, Oriel or any Foundation School. Advertising, if approved in future, will not determine hospital inclusion, rankings, colours, ratio interpretation or editorial conclusions. Advertisements will be visually distinguishable from site content.
