UK-trained doctors ‘to get priority for jobs’ in Streeting’s 10-year NHS plan

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 1 – The plan aims to limit overseas recruitment to 10% of hires and improve NHS staff self-sufficiency by 2035 amid workforce shortages and rising patient demand.

  • Health Secretary Wes Streeting will release a 10-year NHS plan this week prioritizing UK-trained doctors to reduce reliance on overseas recruits and improve patient focus.
  • The plan responds to systemic issues like maternity care failures, highlighted by cases such as Martha Mills' 2021 death where family concerns were dismissed repeatedly.
  • Martha's Rule allows families to request urgent second opinions and has influenced care changes for 465 patients, aiming to curb avoidable deaths caused by ignored warnings.
  • In 2023, 68% of new NHS doctors were non-UK graduates despite 33,108 UK medical graduates applying for 13,000 posts, illustrating workforce imbalances the plan seeks to address.
  • The plan aims to rebuild NHS foundations through local power devolution, speed medicine approvals by a third, and achieve staffing self-sufficiency by 2035 to ensure sustainability.
