Professor Joe Rosenthal and colleagues have collected data from 25 English medical schools on the cost of student placements in general practice and found it to be considerably greater than the available funding and broadly comparable with secondary care (hospital) funding. The actual cost of placing a medical student full-time in general practice for a 37-week academic year was £40,700, compared with the average payment rate of only £22,000 per year. The authors of the study comment that if this under-resourcing is allowed to continue, there will be further attrition in placement capacity, with serious consequences for the NHS workforce.
