A scheme that helps attract trainee doctors to work in economically deprived areas is at risk of being cut by NHS England, the largest membership body for family doctors has warned.

The targeted enhanced recruitment scheme (TERS) was established in 2016 to help attract trainee GPs to work in deprived areas in England by offering a one-off payment of £20,000.

Last year, the scheme had about 700 places available, and since its launch it has attracted more than 2,000 GPs to train in communities with poorer health outcomes. The Royal College of GPs (RCGP) said it was "alarming" that the scheme might be cut for 2025-26, starting from April, under cost-cutting measures still being considered by NHS England.
