This curriculum was first devised in 2008, and updated in 2013 and 2023. The most recent update was undertaken using a cross-matched mapping and nominal group technique to achieve specialist, multidisciplinary consensus. These recommendations have been mapped to General Medical Council requirements for UK graduates, and reflect the standard expected of a Foundation Year 1 Doctor in their first day on the job. The curriculum is divided into 7 core areas, each with 1-2 over-arching learning outcomes, which are expanded and clarified in several sub-learning outcomes.
