ELHT Foundation Programmes  

The Foundation Programmes at East Lancashire have been carefully constructed to provide a wide range of educational opportunities both in the Trust and within the community.

The Medical Education Centre provides all the administrative support to the Foundation Programme Director, Foundation Tutors and Foundation Programme doctors.
​This includes regularly updating doctors’ portfolios on Health Education North West's website, collating assessments, arranging teaching programmes and monitoring attendance at teaching sessions. ​​
