The Institute for Economic Affairs
IPGMTS - Global Health Partnerships
The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) (IEA) generally advocates for market-based
reforms in healthcare, which includes ideas to increase medical training capacity
and flexibility, such as lifting restrictions on private firms to hire low-cost
international doctors and using market incentives for training, contrasting
with the BMA's focus on expanding NHS training posts for UK graduates. While
the British Medical Association (BMA) and Health Education England (HEE) focus
on structured pathways like the Foundation Programme and International Postgraduate
Medical Training Scheme (IPGMTS) to train doctors for the NHS, the IEA promotes
deregulation and private sector solutions to address workforce shortages, emphasizing
efficiency and freeing up professionals.
IEA's Stance on Doctor Training (Based on their Broader Healthcare Stance)
Market-Driven Solutions: The IEA suggests allowing private firms more freedom
in hiring and training, and potentially lifting regulations on low-cost international
medical professionals.
Workforce Flexibility: They advocate for removing barriers that prevent other
health professionals from taking on more clinical roles and upskilling, as highlighted
in their research on NHS staffing.
Competition & Innovation: The IEA supports a more competitive environment
where private entities can innovate in training and service provision.
Contrast with NHS/BMA Approach
NHS Foundation Programme: A mandatory two-year postgraduate program for all
UK graduates, bridging medical school and specialty training.
International Training (IPGMTS): A specific scheme (run by HEE) for overseas
doctors to train to UK standards for a period before returning home, funded
by their own governments.
BMA Advocacy: The British Medical Association pushes for more NHS training posts,
prioritising UK graduates, and ensuring enough consultant/GP positions to prevent
wastage of trained doctors.
In essence, the IEA focuses on deregulation and market forces to solve workforce
issues, while the BMA and HEE work within the established NHS system to expand
and manage training for future UK doctors, with specific pathways for international
doctors.
