Trainees will be employed by an NHS organisation for the duration of their training and receive a salary. It also includes a specifically commissioned and accredited master’s degree in their chosen area.

Workplace training will be undertaken in a range of settings during the first year, before specialising in the trainee’s area of choice in the last two years of training.
