Promoting flexibility in postgraduate training

We have worked with stakeholders to identify how we can collectively make postgraduate medical training more flexible.

In 2016 we began a review of flexibility in postgraduate training. We reported to the health ministers of the four UK countries in March 2017, identifying key actions we will take with others to deliver increased flexibility for doctors in training.

We are now working with partners to carry out the commitments outlined in our plan for improving the flexibility of training.
