Funding
For the 2027 intake we anticipate that around 45 places will be available. Trainees are funded through Public Services Delivery Scotland (formerly NHS Education for Scotland) (PSD-Scotland), which pays University fees, trainee salaries, and travel expenses related to teaching. Trainees are reimbursed for business travel during placement days. Current trainees are full-time employees of the NHS and have annual leave and other benefits in line with usual NHS entitlements. We do not offer any self-funded places.
All trainees are responsible for their own accommodation costs for the duration of the Programme, apart from those in distant NHS Boards (Orkney, Grampian, Tayside, and Dumfries and Galloway) who are given accommodation expenses in accordance with Agenda for Change terms and conditions during teaching blocks in Edinburgh. Trainees in all other Boards are reimbursed for travel expenses to attend teaching in Edinburgh on a daily basis in accordance with Agenda for Change terms and conditions.
Salaries will commence at the first point of the Agenda for Change band 6 for all trainees regardless of previous experience or bandings in previous roles.
