To Quote from the link: His blog, once again, provides an answer: “
I’m an FY1 doctor, with a huge interest in politics and healthcare policy”. What is “
FY1”? Ah well. “FY” stands for Foundation Year: Adam Dalby is in his
first year after graduating, but has not yet acquired sufficient experience to be let loose on his own. He’s the kind of doctor you might find “
sitting in” with registrars or consultants when you visit the local hospital’s outpatients’ department.
