Our vision: “We will be recognised as the best place to start, continue and sustain learning of the skills and knowledge used to deliver the best possible patient care”
The University of OxfordThe University of Oxford is a complex and stimulating organisation which enjoys an international reputation as a world-class centre of excellence in research and teaching. It employs over 10,000 academic, research and support staff across a wide range of academic disciplines.
The Medical Sciences Division is an internationally recognised centre of excellence for biomedical and clinical research and teaching (see http://www.medsci.ox.ac.uk/ ) . Over 5500 academics, researchers, NHS clinicians and GPs, and administrative staff, 1400 graduate and 1600 undergraduate students, together contribute to our extensive and exemplary research, teaching and clinical portfolios.
We aim to be the best university biomedical institution in Europe and amongst the best five biomedical institutions in the world, and have been ranked number one for the last six years in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings for clinical, pre-clinical and health sciences - the only non-North American institution to be top-ranked by THE in any subject discipline. The Division fosters the highest possible standards in research, teaching and patient care and seeks to recruit staff who share this vision.
The Oxford University Clinical Academic School (OUCAGS)Oxford University Clinical Academic Graduate School (OUCAGS) https://www.oucags.ox.ac.uk/ was founded in partnership with the Oxford Deanery and NHS Education South Central (NESC), and continues as a partnership between the University, Deanery and Health Education England Thames Valley (HEETV) with strong links to the Oxford NIHR Biomedical Research Centre. We aim to support and strengthen clinical academic training and to provide an infrastructure for Oxford’s Academic Foundation doctors, ACFs, Clinical Research Fellows and Clinical Lecturers, which explicitly values and protects the development of academic excellence.
OUCAGS provides seminars, research training, and assists in identifying funding/research opportunities. We also support development of clinical competencies by close liaison with clinical supervisors to ensure our academic doctors achieve at a consistently high level, so delivering the greatest benefit to their patients.

Oxford Academic Foundation Programme
The aim of the Oxford Academic Foundation Programme is to enable trainees to explore their own area of academic research, regardless of the clinical attachments. Only the Academic Trauma and Orthopaedics (T&O) placement has a defined research topic within T&O.
The rotations are designed to ensure that all academic trainees can achieve the core clinical competencies of foundation training as well as completing an academic curriculum. Trainees participating in an Academic Foundation Programme have a minimum of five clinical attachments in which to achieve all core competencies. It is therefore imperative that they maintain a focus on their clinical requirements alongside their academic endeavours. We anticipate that acquiring the acute competencies will be demanding.
The Oxford Academic Foundation Programme is currently overseen by Prof. Sarah Rowland Jones and Dr Kate Saunders, who are the Academic Foundation Programme Leads. Academic trainees will need to identify an academic supervisor and arrange meetings with them to develop a personalised programme and monitor progress through the academic curriculum. For those on the OUH T&O programme Professor Matt Costa will be the academic supervisor.
Although we consider the freedom to develop your own research project to be a strength of the Oxford programme, it can be daunting especially for trainees with no previous link with Oxford. There is a list of university departments with research interests in Appendix 1 of this pack. This is not exhaustive, and candidates should feel free to approach individuals working in their area of interest for advice and ideas. Candidates who are uncertain about how to proceed are very welcome to contact Prof. Sarah Rowland-Jones ([email protected] ) or Dr Kate Saunders ([email protected] ) . Alternatively, candidates would be able to contact Dr Anne Edwards ([email protected]), Foundation School Director, for advice.
Details of the research funding, courses available and other benefits for Oxford Academic Foundation doctors is on the OUCAGS website (https://www.oucags.ox.ac.uk/why-oxford/our-programmes/the-academic-foundation-programme-at-oxford) along with profiles of previous members of the programme and examples of the projects / research they have undertaken https://www.oucags.ox.ac.uk/featured-projects/academic-foundation-projects
Foundation Year 1
All trainees will rotate through 3 x 4 month placements. See the list of rotations as an example. We aim to ensure that trainees experience both District General Hospital and teaching hospital settings.
In Foundation Year 1 all academic trainees will have weekly academic day release in one of their 4 month posts.
Foundation Year 2
In Foundation Year 2, all trainees will spend time in a mixture of specialties which provide acute and non-acute experience.
Some candidates will spend 4 months in a dedicated academic placement; some will have day release during two placements for academic pursuits.
The rotations that include Academic Trauma and Orthopaedics involve a 4 month academic placement split 80% academic and 20% clinical and additional day release during the Intensive Care Medicine block. This ensures that the overall academic time is equivalent to a full 4 month block.

Further information regarding the national recruitment process and the Academic Foundation Programme can be found on the UKFPO website.
Long ListingThe Foundation School reserve the right to long list applications.
Short ListingEach individual application form question will be scored by a panel of two senior consultants, using standardised scoring criteria.
Members of the scoring panel will not have access to the personal details or programme preference sections of your application form.
In the event of applicants scoring the same, candidates may be distinguished by their validated Educational Achievements, or Educational Performance Measure scores, as determined by the UKFPO. If an applicant submits an appeal against their validated EPM score, which results in a change to their EPM score, the application will be reviewed and processed accordingly.
InterviewsShortlisted candidates for interviews will be informed via e-mail and interviews will be held on the 23rd
November 2017 at The Kassam Stadium, Grenoble Road, Oxford, OX4 4XP. On the day of interviews, each applicant will be interviewed and scored by a clinical panel and an academic panel, using standardised scoring criteria. Each panel will consist of two people and will contain at least one senior consultant. You will not be required to bring a portfolio with you, but should ensure you have photographic proof of identity (usually passport or driving license) and a passport sized photograph.
Members of the interview and scoring panel will not have access to the personal details or preferences sections of your application form.
Details regarding interview travel expenses can be found on the Oxford Deanery website:http://www.oxforddeanery.nhs.uk/recruitment__careers/oxford_recruitment_2013/interview_expenses.aspx
Applicants must obtain written authorisation from the Deanery prior to booking any accommodation and purchase of flight ticket. For full details please refer to the Oxford Deanery website:

Application OutcomesAll applicants will be notified of the results of their application. Applicants will be contacted by email with an offer of a programme, notification that they are on the reserve list or notification that they have not been successful.
Applicants will not be advised of their position on the reserve list. There is no guarantee that any reserve list candidates will be offered a position as it is possible for all first offers to be accepted. The reserve list can change on a minute by minute basis, depending on whether applicants accept offers from other Foundation Schools. It is therefore impossible to provide accurate or useful information.
We are unable to provide any detailed feedback due to the significant number of applications that we receive.
Matching to ProgrammesSuccessful applicants will be matched to specific programmes on the basis of their score and preferences. I.e. applicants with the highest scores will be matched to their preferences first.
Offer of EmploymentThe AFP recruitment process is a matching process only. The offer of employment will be made by the trust on completion of satisfactory references and pre-employment checks such as CRB etc.
Once the AFP and standard FP recruitment process has been completed, and all applicants have been matched to programmes, details of allocations will be forwarded to the employing trusts. Following this, successful applicants will be contacted directly by their employing healthcare organisation in order to complete all of the necessary pre-employment checks.

The Academic Curriculum
BackgroundThe two year academic foundation training posts were created by the Oxford Foundation School to enhance recruitment of doctors into academic career paths.
The aim of the academic foundation programme is to combine clinical training with the opportunity for trainees to develop skills and knowledge in research, to equip them for future training in an academic career. Trainees will be expected to acquire the core clinical competencies of foundation training, but in addition will be offered a range of opportunities in research/research methodology. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate attainment of competencies in these areas and develop these skills over the two year period. A central objective of the programme is for trainees to leave the programme with evidence of achievement including the ability to formulate a research question and undertake the necessary background work related to the question.
In accepting these posts, trainees, will agree to commit over and above what would be expected in the other posts. In return the programmes have been designed to allow time out to pursue research interests and training. This will require excellent organisation on the part of the trainee as well as good support from the academic supervisor.
SupervisionAll foundation trainees will have a clinical supervisor and an educational supervisor whose roles will be crucial. A clinical supervisor is a trainer who is selected and appropriately trained to be responsible for monitoring, supporting and assessing the foundation trainee’s day-to-day clinical and professional work. The clinical supervisor changes for each of the placements while the educational supervisor remains the same.
An educational supervisor is a trainer who is selected and appropriately trained to be responsible for monitoring, supporting and assessing the foundation trainee’s educational programme and progress. This includes assessment, and/or the collection of assessment results.
In addition to these, an Academic Foundation trainee will have an academic/research supervisor, identified by them once their research interests have been defined. Together they will develop a personalised programme, based on the academic curriculum. This will take into account previous experience and achievements, and draw on the resources available through Oxford University and the departments through which the candidate will rotate, for example some of this training will be available through the ‘Introduction to Medical Research: Essential Skills’ course (https://www.oucags.ox.ac.uk/medical-research-essential-skills)
All Foundation Trainees are expected to take responsibility for achieving the curriculum and for undertaking the required assessments. The emphasis is very much that the Foundation years should be trainee driven. There are the same expectations of those appointed to academic posts. The curriculum (see below) indicates clearly that they should achieve certain objectives. It is hoped that the academic supervisor will be prepared to be actively involved throughout the two year programme.
Research curriculumThe precise skills learnt will vary depending on the interests of the individual, but may include laboratory research, clinical research, and epidemiology or health services research. All trainees will be expected to demonstrate that they have achieved generic learning outcomes for research, including, but not limited to:
Demonstrate ability to formulate a research question Demonstrate ability to undertake and describe a systematic search, evaluation and synthesis of
previous research related to the chosen question Formulate and justify the research question as above Demonstrate knowledge of study design and/or laboratory technique relevant to the planned research Describe study intervention or technique:
Updated June 2017
11
Describe study population and outcome measures Calculate sample size Describe methods of data collection Describe statistical techniques for analysis of results Describe plan for obtaining ethical approval Describe plan of study management Describe study costing Identify possible sources of funding Demonstrate ability to learn and apply study methodologies or laboratory techniques to pilot work in the
chosen area of research (for example, description of use of a PCR technique, description of the methods of a systematic review).
Demonstrate ability to give a presentation of research plans and/or findings to scientific peers.
Teaching and trainingThis is part of the core foundation curriculum. There is additional information available via OUCAGS to academic trainees wishing to find teaching opportunities.
Attendance at Relevant CoursesAll trainees will be required to achieve their foundation competencies and will be expected to attend the generic foundation training provided and complete required assessments.
There is also a wealth of training opportunities available to Academic trainees, provided through the Division of Medical Sciences. These can be viewed and booked online at: www.medsci.ox.ac.uk/portal/skillstraining. Trainees should review, at the start of the rotation, with their academic supervisor those that will be especially relevant. OUCAGS Introduction to Medical Research – Essential Skills. https://www.oucags.ox.ac.uk/why-oxford/our-programmes/the-academic-foundation-programme-at-oxford/medical-research-essential-skills
The OUCAGS Forum
These research seminars feature clinical academic trainees at different stages of their career, who present their research. The Forum runs as a series of termly day or half-day conferences.
Attend the OUCAGS Forum to:
develop your understanding of presenting research ideas and results find out what your trainee colleagues and other clinical academics are doing network with like-minded people in a relaxed atmosphere
Participation, both as an attendee and as a presenter, is an integral part of clinical academic training at Oxford. Presentations do not have to be a fully completed piece of work - research ideas are welcome as well.
Certificates of Attendance and Presentation will be available for your academic portfolio.
Presentations and Journal ClubsAll academic trainees should prepare and present at least one medical or surgical grand round during the rotation. They should expect to participate regularly at journal clubs and undertake case presentations during the different elements of the rotation.
AuditAn understanding of audit is part of the foundation programme. Academic trainees should expect to complete one audit project each year.
AssessmentAll foundation trainees will have regular training reviews. Academic trainees will need to provide additional information for their portfolio to evaluate progress through their academic time.
