Emergency Care, Pharmacy and Paramedic Workforce Programme

Tender description

HEE developed the Global Fellows - Emergency Medicine Programme in 2018 with the aim of attracting internationally educated Emergency Medicine Doctors into the NHS. Health Education England now wish to expand the reach and scale of the Programme. Whilst the Programme has achieved its aim of increasing the number of Emergency Medicine Doctors in the NHS the current workforce requirement is for additional numbers. As such, Health Education England plan to increase the number of Emergency Medicine Doctors able to join the Programme. Rather than simply recruiting Emergency Medicine Doctors from other countries, where there are also potentially workforce shortages, our ethical approach is to increase the number of overseas Doctors training in the Emergency Medicine speciality who are then eligible to join the Programme upon completion of their training.
