The pilot medical apprenticeship programmes in England have been paused by the government, including the course at Peninsula Medical School in Plymouth. This decision comes as a review of doctor apprenticeships is being conducted to determine funding restrictions. Laura Bowater, the head of Peninsula Medical School, expressed disappointment over the government’s change in attitude towards level 7 apprenticeships, which include medicine. Anglia Ruskin University also has medical apprentices on its course, with uncertainty surrounding the future of these programmes. The government’s decision has been met with concern and disappointment by those involved in the pilot schemes.
