The National Recruitment office in London allocates FDs to areas in England and Wales usually in June/July. It is at this point HEIW knows which FDs have been allocated to Wales and to which Schemes. Following FD allocations to a Welsh Scheme, HEIW will arrange a local preferencing window to facilitate the matching of an FD to a practice. You will receive further information and guidance regarding this process in May/June.
In Wales there are 6 DFT schemes which have between 8 and 14 posts attached to them. Normally there are equal numbers of FD applicants appointed to a scheme as there are training practices that have been appointed.
