South Thames includes hospitals in southern London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex (KSS). South Thames is part of London and KSS (Kent, Surrey and Sussex) Foundation Schools Health Education England.

Specialised/Academic Foundation Programme (SFP/AFP)
South Thames does not have a separate Academic Foundation Programme but it is shared with North Central and East London and North West London. Instead, an application is made to ‘LaKSS’ managed by London and KSS Foundation Schools Health Education England.
Applicants complete a 4-month academic post in their F2 year.
