More posts for trainee doctors in Scotland
The Scottish Government has said it will add 105 more places by 2022 on the Foundation Training programme for medical graduates.
Medical students graduate from medical school after five years and move in to a two-year Foundation Training programme.
The first 51 training posts will be available under this scheme in 2021 for students to continue their training to become qualified doctors.
These additional Foundation posts will create a greater range of placements for trainee doctors particularly in general practice, psychiatry and in remote or rural parts of Scotland.
During a visit to meet doctors currently at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Health Secretary Jeane Freeman said: "With a programme that is 99% full, our Foundation training is a testament to the popularity of Scotland as a training destination and the high quality education we offer.
“We need confident, skilled and committed doctors to meet the needs of patients, particularly as we face an ageing population with multiple conditions.
"With the offer of an exceptional quality of life for young doctors in Scotland, I am committed to providing attractive training and career prospects to ensure as many medical graduates from Scottish medical schools stay in Scotland to train, progress and realise their career ambitions.”
