The NHS Bursary scheme is already in place for medical students.

During relevant course years, eligible medical students can apply for the NHS Bursary which provides non-repayable funding for tuition fees of up to £9,250, maintenance costs of between £1,000 and £4,191, travel and dual accommodation costs, support for childcare, dependants and students living with a disability. Further funding is available to help students manage shortfalls between their income and expenditure of up to £3,000.

Eligible medical students can also apply for a reduced rate maintenance loan for living costs from Student Finance England during NHS Bursary years.
