This study aimed to explore FYs' experiences of training and their perceived training needs for their role in care of the dying. Care of the dying patient is an intrinsic part of the role of Foundation Year doctors METHODS: All FYs in one Foundation school were invited to take part in semi-structured group or individual interviews. A total of 8 group interviews and 21 individual interviews were conducted with 47 participants. Interview recordings were transcribed verbatim and framework analysis was undertaken.
Findings:
Key themes derived from the interviews included FYs' teaching opportunities regarding care of the dying and their learning methods for this subject matter which included learning from experience, observation, simulation, written guidance and supervision. Areas for further training was another key theme and training needs identified included prescribing, communication, recognising dying, documentation, societal perspective and emotional resilience.
Discussion:
FYs' training experiences in this area vary. This study identifies training needs that can be used to inform both undergraduate and postgraduate curricula.
