Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to permit overseas-born trainee GPs to stay in Britain at the end of their training.

We are working with NHS England and NHS Improvement, Health Education England and the profession to understand the barriers faced by international medical graduates in general practitioner (GP) specialty training. The two-year General Practice Fellowship programme guarantees the opportunity for every newly qualified GP entering general practice, including international medical graduates, to receive funded mentorship, one funded session of continuing professional development opportunities per week and rotational placements in Primary Care Networks to develop their experience and support their transition into the workforce.
