An £80m investment by the Welsh Government will increase training places for the next generation of healthcare professionals by 16% next year, Health and Social Services Minister, Mark Drakeford, announced yesterday (Wednesday February 11).
The number of nurses being trained in 2015-16 will increase by more than a fifth (22%), while the number of paramedic places available will increase by 161% compared to the 2014-15 academic year.
The £80m will also support the education and training of a range of other healthcare professionals, including physiotherapists and occupational therapists. The number of training places funded is based on plans developed by health boards and NHS trusts in Wales and has been discussed with healthcare unions and representatives.
