12. Plans for
The Programme for is taking shape and it is hoped that the programme will be finalised before the start of the academic year to avoid the delays that were experienced this year.
26 courses have been confirmed offering over 500 places – However, more places are required as we have over 600 FY2 trainees across Y&H, so please can you confirm dates as soon as possible.
Psychiatry is a specialty that is currently missing from the programme and it is hoped that this gap will be filled in

13. Plans for 2016 – 17
We are investigating the possibility of having an online booking system which will provide the foundation administrators with up to the minute details of who has booked on their courses and perhaps more importantly who amongst their FY2 trainees has not yet booked a place on a Bridging the Gap day.
A huge thank you to all the administrators and the course providers for all their hard work – the courses have been well received and the trainees have gained a lot from them.
