This map shows you every foundation school, shaded by UKFPO's first-choice ratio for the last three cycles. Press a school for its programmes, groups, trusts, sites and specialties. Oriel runs a group stage for every school in England, Scotland and Wales, where applicants preference groups before programmes; Northern Ireland has none.

Ratios: UK Foundation Programme Office, UK Foundation Programme 2027, First preference ratios, read 10 September 2026; UKFPO's own page is the record. Group stage: UKFPO, UKFP 2026 application timeline; in England the groups are geographical, SFP, FPP and placeholder groups, NHS England, placeholder FAQs, March 2026; Northern Ireland, NIMDTA, foundation recruitment; read 10 September 2026. Everything else on this page is counted from the programme lists the foundation schools published on Oriel for the 2026 cycle, 18 schools and 1,067sites in all. They are rough figures, not the schools' or UKFPO's, and lists change after publication. They are here to help you look, not to rank from: do your own checks against Oriel and the foundation school before you preference a programme. Doctor Devify Ltd accepts no responsibility for a decision made on these figures.
