Training fee restructure with commitment to review

The Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB) has changed its fee structure to better meet the needs of trainee doctors. The previous fee of £875 which had to be paid in full at entry can now be divided into two elements - £250 for Core Medical Training and £625 for Specialist Training. This will lessen the financial burden for younger doctors as they begin training to be a physician.
The change will take immediate effect, and any ST1 or ST2 trainee who has already paid the full fee of £875 will be refunded £625. ST3s already enrolled may claim back £250.
Trainees wishing to do this should contact the Board on 020 7935 1174 ext 283
This will not affect SpRs, who will continue to pay £875 on entry to specialist training, however, this can be paid in yearly installments as part of a College membership subscription, when it becomes tax deductible.
In addition to the changes, the Board will be reviewing other payment options in future, together with a refund policy.
Further information and future updates will be posted on the JRCPTB website: http://www.jrcptb.org.uk/
Best wishes,
JRCPTB
