GMC trainee feedback drawn from the GMC National Training Survey 2025 (71,000+ UK trainees and trainers). Digital systems data sourced from Before You Rank's community of NHS staff and students.

Dr Dev Gakhar

I sat where you're sitting in 2023. I had no clue what I was doing.

I had hundreds of foundation jobs to rank, weeks to do it, and no idea where to start. Trusts I'd never heard of. Hospitals I couldn't place on a map. Digital systems I had to ask FY1s about over Reddit. I lost days to spreadsheets that broke and tabs that crashed. And at the end I still wasn't sure I'd ranked them right.

Three years on I have the data, the time, and the engineering to build the tool I needed back then. Every GMC trainee survey score. Every paper-only trust. Every postcode. All 10,904 rotations ranked for you, in the time it takes to make a cup of tea (and drink some of it).

What the job is

  1. Tell your cohortWhen ranking opens, let your year group know Foundation Ranker exists. Year-group chat, a story, however your cohort actually talks.
  2. Answer what you canYou will know the tool by then, so take the questions people ask you directly.
  3. Send me the restAnything you are not sure about, and any complaints, come straight to me.
  4. Tell me what you honestly thinkIf something about the tool is annoying, confusing or wrong, say so. That is half of why I want reps.

Low commitment, and it only really matters for the few weeks ranking is open
