Trainers Grants (automatic payment no invoice required)
Trainer Grants for GP Practices in the East Midlands will now be made at the end of each rotation (still every 4 months during ST3). Payments will continue to be made directly to the practice, a daily rate will be applied pro rata, calculating the applicable TG based on the period the trainee is in the practice.
The practice will not receive a Trainer Grant if a trainee is on long term sick leave. However, NHSE will support Phased returns with no reductions made.
From the 1 April 2024 the rate of payment has increased to £10,382 per annum. Please be reminded, payments are made on a pro-rata basis, based on a daily rate of £28.44.
For FY2 Trainees, the current reimbursement is a flat rate of £3,460.67 per four month rotation.
Below are planned payment dates for this financial year. Payments will include applicable trainer grants for all registrars;
March 2024 to include TG for the period 06 December 2023 – 03 April 2024
