Home fee trainees

  • On entry to the programme, home fee trainees are paid on the first spine point of Band 6 of the Agenda for Change pay scales
  • For travel expenses, UCL is considered the trainee’s base location and as such, home fee trainees do not get paid for travel expenses to UCL. If the travel expenses to their placement are higher than the travel expenses from home to UCL, they are able to claim the difference in cost.

Similarly, if they are required to travel within their placement, these expenses are also paid through a travel expense claim.
