News in that GP trainees will now be offered £20,000 as an incentive payment take jobs in areas currently understaffed as part of a Health Education England initiative.
It’s estimated that 1 in 9 GP vacancies in England were unfilled in the East Midlands and the North East regions. In order to counter this, trainees will be offered incentives of £20K by the HEE, to take up jobs in the areas worst affected.
Maureen Baker, the RCGP chairperson welcomed the announcement, stating: ‘This initiative is something that the college has been proposing for some time, and we are pleased to see it being implemented,’
‘It is just one initiative in the 10-point-plan to build the GP workforce that the college launched last year with NHS England, HEE and the BMA and we will continue to work with the government and decision makers to "recruit, retain, return" the thousands more GPs necessary to keep our profession – and the wider NHS – sustainable.
