Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 February 2026

Debate

Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill

Contribution

That said, the Government recognise the concerns that have been expressed about students who are approaching graduation from overseas campuses. While these graduates will not be prioritised under the arrangements set out in the Bill, they will continue to be eligible to apply for foundation programme places and will be able to secure a place where posts remain available. In addition, many will have the opportunity to undertake foundation or equivalent training overseas, not least in the countries where they have studied, meaning that they are not left without progression routes.
