My understanding is that there is a two year specialty specific 'stem' program between F2 and SpR. This will no doubt include 6 months A&E (other componants not fixed, but maybe acute medicine, ITU / anaesthetics or paeds).
So future 'SHOs' will be a mixture of F2 and Stems. The 'Stem' SHOs will of course probably have already done 4/12 A&E in the F2 post, and so will be a bit more experienced than many of our current SHOs.
Probably not a good idea to make all your SHO posts into F2s - as Stem SHOs will be more valuable and you will need to retain some SHO posts to convert into Stems.

Another thought. Where do aspiring A&E doctors gain experience in A&E at
SHO level if all SHO posts are F2 as our are? What lies between F2 SHO and
SpR?
