Special Circumstances

Special circumstances are personal circumstances that may significantly impact on your work /life balance if allowances are not made i.e. being a parent. In most cases, those who meet the criteria and are awarded special circumstances are placed in a defined geographical area i.e. near your childs’ school.

The process for special circumstances at F1 is managed via your medical school and the guidance and application forms can be found on the national allocation website. If your circumstances change after you have started in F1 please contact the Foundation School for advice.

If you wish to apply for special circumstances that will apply during your F2 year, you will need to apply whilst still an F1. The 2009/10 application form and guidance notes about applying for F2 special circumstances can be downloaded here. The deadline for receipt of your completed application is noon (12pm) on Thursday 4th December 2008.
