GP Training Financial Incentives

The Targeted Incentive:

At present GP Trainees who start the first post of their GP training programme in Wales  between 2017 up to and including February 2024, in a targeted area with a history of lower than average fill rates, will be eligible for a payment of up to £20,000 should they remain in a targeted area for the duration of their training and for one year of practice after qualification. This incentive is targeted at selected training areas within Hywel Dda University Health Board (‘HDUHB’), Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (‘BCUHB’) and Powys Teaching Health Board (‘PTHB’) (‘eligible Health Board areas’).

All GP trainees who commence the first post of their GP training programme in Wales from 2017 up to and including February 2023 are eligible for the universal incentive.

Trainees who have demonstrated their suitability to enter GP training, in accordance with the nationally agreed process for recruitment to GP Specialty Training Programmes will be eligible to receive the universal incentive and if training in one of the identified areas, the targeted incentive.

Trainees from the Gwent and South Powys and Swansea Bay Schemes who complete their entire ST3 post in one of the Powys practices will also be eligible for the targeted incentive.
