Fund a graduate guarantee scheme for newly qualified physiotherapists

Background

Fund a graduate guarantee scheme for newly qualified physiotherapists as has been done for nursing and midwifery graduates

Additional details

We feel there is a lack of band 5 jobs available to apply for and that competition for these is extremely high. Wes Streeting has praised physiotherapy and cited the profession in the ten-year health plan. We feel support for physiotherapy is needed to strengthen the NHS workforce, prevent longer waiting times and burn out. We believe new graduates are motivated, driven and passionate about delivering patient care but do not have the opportunities available to make a difference.
