Trainer Finance
Payments for GP training are as follows:
- Trainers Grant - £899.74 per GPST per month for the duration of the trainees placement with the Practice via PCSE. This payment is triggered by the Primary Care School when the trainee starts the placement. Please contact the programme support team at the School of Primary Care if any amendments to dates or for remedial training extension payments become necessary.
- Please note that Trainer Grant payments are not made during periods of maternity leave or OOP.
- Trainer grant is paid up to 12 months whilst a trainee is on sick leave from a practice placement.
- Less than full time trainees still attract full trainer grant payments.
- Trainers’ annual CPD grant - £750. This is paid to the practice by NHS England South West retrospectively each March for the previous year
For example, the payment made in March 2026 will be for GP Registrars supervised for the period April 2025 – March 2026.
- The GP Educational Supervisors’ payment is linked to the completion of an ESR or interim ESR on the FourteenFish E-portfolio.
Each completed ESR receives a payment of £252, totalling £504 per GP Registrar over the course of the year.
Payments are made retrospectively twice annually: - 1st Payment (August-February): March
- 2nd Payment (March-July): September
