Trusts welcome review of postgraduate training for newly qualified doctors
19 February 2025
We comment on a new review into postgraduate training for newly qualified medics.
Two of England’s leading doctors are to oversee a significant review into postgraduate training for newly qualified medics.
Saffron Cordery, interim chief executive, NHS Providers, said:
"Newly qualified doctors are vital to the future of the NHS. This review will help the NHS to adapt to growing and changing demands.
"It’s vital that the medical workforce has the right support, training and development opportunities to ensure high quality services for patients and service users in the years ahead.
"These roles are a key part of the NHS team. We welcome recognition of the importance of improving their experience of training and enabling them to thrive.
"The review must include active consideration of the value of diversity in the NHS workforce. Around a quarter of the NHS workforce is from an ethnic minority and they often face discrimination and have a poorer experience than their white colleagues. This review is an opportunity to demonstrate commitment to improving the experience of ethnic minority staff in the NHS and their role in providing better care for patients."
