The Department is working with Health Education England and other key stakeholders to review the funding of undergraduate medical training placements in primary and secondary care. The aim of this work is to ensure that the distribution of the available funding supports delivery of high quality placements irrespective of setting and ensures that learners develop the skills and knowledge they require to meet their respective professional competencies.
