<p>The UK Foundation Programme can be under- or over-subscribed as it is subject to
variation for a number of reasons. In 2018 there was a fill rate of 98.6%<sup>1</sup>,
however in 2019 there were initially more eligible applicants than available places.
Additional places have now been provided, meaning all eligible graduates have been
allocated a Foundation Programme post to start from August 2019.</p><p>For specialty
training programmes, the current overall fill rate is slightly higher than in 2018,
with 83.8% of training posts currently accepted for programmes beginning in 2019,
compared to 81.9% at the same stage last year<sup>2</sup>. Some specialties will continue
to recruit through further rounds, and therefore the number of trainees is likely
to rise.</p><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><p><sup>1</sup>http://www.foundationprogramme.nhs.uk/sites/default/files/2018-09/2018%20Recruitment%20Summary%20Report.pdf</p><p><sup>2</sup>https://www.hee.nhs.uk/our-work/medical-recruitment/specialty-recruitment-round-1-acceptance-fill-rate</p><p><strong>
