Medical schools write to Student Finance to increase financial support for medical students

The Medical Schools Council has written to the governments in England, Wales and Northern Ireland* expressing concern about the increasing financial pressures being placed on medical students.

Medical schools are calling for a change in the way in which funding works for final year students, with particular reference to the NHS Bursary and the cost of living crisis.

Correspondences, including responses, have been published below.

*There is no NHS bursary for Scottish-resident medical students.
