Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support innovation to improve the provision of clinical placements for medical students.
In March 2023 Health Education England published the Educator Workforce Strategy. This sets out actions to ensure sufficient capacity and quality of educators, and to enable innovative models of education, including for clinical placements, to support the growth in the healthcare workforce, including doctors. NHS England will develop an implementation plan for the strategy.
