F2 Regional Teaching (F2s only)
Severn Foundation School runs a rich and varied F2 regional teaching programme between October and May which contributes to your core teaching hours and aspects of the foundation curriculum. As well as being a chance to network and catch up with foundation colleagues from around the patch, we hope you will find the Severn F2 Regional Teaching Programme fun, informative and useful.
All our F2s are expected to attend a minimum of four Regional Teaching Days consisting of:
1 Clinical Skills day (mandatory)
1 Human Factors session (mandatory)
2 other Regional Teaching days of your choice
You are of course welcome to attend more if you wish!
The Regional Teaching Programme uses days from your study leave allocation. Study Leave needs to be agreed and booked prior to booking onto courses. Please see the Foundation Study Leave policy Maxcourse
In order to book into regional Teaching sessions, you will need to register on Maxcourse.
Please ensure you fully complete your personal details including your F2 Trust, your address (this helps match you with others in your area who might wish to share lifts), and crucially, your profession (Foundation Year 2) as you will not be able to book onto courses otherwise.
Once you have registered, you will be able to book onto Regional Teaching sessions. A few points to note:
- DO book study leave with your department in advance
- DO spread your Regional Teaching sessions throughout the year
- DO check the calendar on Maxcourse regularly, as not all courses are available yet
- DO NOT book into multiple sessions of the same course – space is limited, and it is unfair to block places which others could take – this applies in particular to the mandatory Human Factors and Clinical Skills courses
- DO NOT book yourself into more than one course on the same date – again, space is limited, and it is unfair to block places
- DO NOT cancel at the last minute or fail to show up without good cause. If you realise you can’t attend a session you have booked, log into Maxcourse as soon as possible to cancel your place
