It is recognised that in some NHS Boards the provision of accommodation for the new F1 medical staff may be problematic due to levels / double demand.
The new F1s will be notified of this in advance and where necessary will be supported in making local short term alternative arrangements, in accordance with the recruiting NHS Board’s local policy.
Each region supports training in a number of hospitals covering most NHS Health Boards in Scotland.
