Members of the House of Lords debated the key purpose and principles of the Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill at second reading on Wednesday 4 February.
The bill aims to prioritise graduates from UK medical schools, doctors with significant experience in the NHS, and certain other groups for foundation and specialty training roles. The bill was fast-tracked through the House of Commons to apply to roles from summer 2026.
Committee stage, the first chance for members to examine the bill line-by-line, will take place today, Thursday 12 February.
