MariaPCC 11 December 2025

The government has put an offer to the British Medical Association (BMA) which would put in place emergency legislation for UK and Republic of Ireland medical graduates and doctors who have worked in the NHS for a significant period to be prioritised for specialty training, tackling bottlenecks through an overhaul of recruitment for medical training. Should the BMA accept this offer, the government will accelerate plans to prioritise these medics, addressing the current system which has led to soaring competition ratios – with current applicants set to benefit from the 2026 intake.
