The NHS has significantly reduced the number of places available to graduates on its management training scheme due to fears that it may be spending millions of pounds on individuals who will be unable to find a job within the health service once they have completed their course. Managers in Partnership chief executive Jon Restell said; "We've invested a lot of time and money [in the trainees] and now they're likely to be lost to the NHS unless we can form some sort of bridge."
Indeed, Restell called for a new scheme to be set up whereby management scheme graduates could be placed into short term or 'interim' roles within the NHS, especially as they are generally well trained and experienced and relatively cost effective.
The 90 places available on last year's general management course has been reduced to just 60 for this September's intake, and places on the finance management course have been cut from 65 to 45. The human resources management course has been hit the hardest, falling from 65 places to a mere 25.
