Funding
In addition to the above entry requirements, applicants need to meet the following additional entry criteria:
- Be appointable within the NHS. Evidence of your right to work in the UK will be required as appropriate.
- Be eligible for home-based tuition fees.
31 NHS funded training places were commissioned for the 2023 and 2024 intakes. It is currently not known how many funded training places will be commissioned for the 2025 intake.
Current NHS-funded trainees are full-time NHS employees on a fixed term three-year contract, paid on Band 6 of the Agenda for Change (AfC) pay scales, at the lowest spine point of that band. Current NHS-funded trainees have standard NHS holiday allowances and other benefits as detailed in the AfC Handbook, and their University fees are currently paid directly by the NHS.
Current NHS-funded trainees can claim for travel expenses incurred travelling to placement from either their home or their base (one of two bases either University of Essex or another base in Essex) whichever is the shorter journey. Journeys are currently reimbursed by national mileage rules at the Agenda for Change Standard rate, which vary according to the type of vehicle used, or at the cost of public transport.
