    Applying for FP with an interest in O&G

    Hi folks,

    Just looking for some advice. I'm applying for a foundation post starting next year (August 2006). I'm an Irish graduate and I'm not sure of my order of preference for deaneries yet. I have a strong interest in obstetrics and gynaecology though and I was wondering if there are any deaneries which have a name for good O&G training? Ideally I'd love a foundation post where some of F2 would be spent on an obstetrics attachment but given the fact I'm not a UK med school graduate, I'm afraid my chances of securing such a post are slim...

    I'm in exactly the same position at the moment, hoping to apply for 2010 foundation training and I'm very interested in O+G. Can anyone help please? (I don't mind which deanery, just as long as it is well known for excellent O+G training).

    O&G training at foundation level is pretty much the same wherever you go. If you have a particular interest in a subspecialty then you might want to apply to a centre that has it but to be honest most of your time will be spent doing the core stuff that happens everywhere. I am in a DGH at present, getting great experience and really loving it. I don't think you need to be in a teaching hospital.

    If you are really set on getting a foundation job with O&G in it then it might be sensible to apply for an undersubscribed deanery where the competition for jobs is less intense.
