Medical workforce pipeline: New Anglia University says UK medical school competition is outpacing capacity, citing 25,770 medicine applicants for 2026 entry versus about 8,126 funded places in England, and is promoting a UK-aligned Doctor of Medicine pathway with integrated learning and NHS-based clinical rotations. Community health angle (personal story): An interview highlights a 72-year-old woman starting medical residency in family medicine at nearly 73, reflecting on late-career training and Caribbean medical education routes.
