UKFPO has announced that South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire and East Coast will be combining into one Foundation School for 2010 foundation school recruitment. This adjustment has been made after North Yorkshire failed to fill all its spaces this year, even after headroom for applications was cut from 10% to 5% this year. This means that there were 5% more jobs for first-year doctors this year than there were final year students in the UK. Hopefully headroom will not be cut further this year, as of 2006 UK medical students are no longer guaranteed jobs as doctors.
