Welcome to our "Prepare for FY1" course

Thank you for booking to attend our course!

  • Timetable & Venue details: See below – this will be kept up to date if any changes so please check before you leave!
  • Dress Code: Dress smartly as though it is your first day of FY1. No scrubs please. 
  • Equipment: Bring a pen, water bottle & stethoscope

You’ll be allocated to small groups. The leads of your first group will explain the course & be your mentors for the day. There will be 6 stations covering core aspects of FY1 (e.g. documentation, prioritising jobs whilst on call, managing unwell patients, communicating with families) with lunch halfway between. There may be a 7th station covering ultrasound cannulation station depending on availability of equipment and tutors. 

We strongly recommend you read the course materials below (and complete the online US cannulation course if applicable) in advance to allow you to focus on applying content rather than learning theory! At the end of the day, you’ll meet your mentors again to discuss through any further questions and get final top tips.

Timings are subject to change – please check the day before!
