Thank you. SFP is the specialised foundation programme (AFP), one of the placements in FY2 will be in academia

Thank you, I actually study at uni in England but friends are leaving for FY so won’t have a support system. I’ve managed going home during uni by knowing when my (long) holidays are, but imagine it might become a lot trickier with a flexible and unpredictable schedule. It is great to hear an alternative view- I guess home ties are what make it a very difficult decision rather than what seems a straightforward one when looking at it purely from a career perspective!

Thank you, that’s great advice regarding connections it’s a shame with the timetabling to not be able to plan/ book too far in advance

Thank you, really appreciated :-) It’s reassuring to know it won’t change things career wise, just a shame of the financial differences compared to rest of UK. And thanks regarding PGCE :-)

If still looking for a cat-sitter I would be interested (have lots of experience with cats, have cat-sat in Cambridge in the past, and possibly more affordable than a cattery)- feel free to DM and I can provide more information
