Doctors currently spend up to 33 sessions per year on mandatory training, and concerns have been raised about the burden this places on them.

NHS England is expected to announce this review soon.

NHS bosses in England are proposing a plan to reduce the amount of mandatory training for doctors from annual to every other year.

The training, which includes subjects like safeguarding, conflict resolution, and equality, currently takes up to a day per year and includes 11 different types.

Doctors have expressed frustration with the constant pressure and poor working environments, and this change is intended to help alleviate some of that burden.

The proposed change would allow doctors to complete the training over the course of two years instead of one, saving them half a day annually.

The text discusses the possibility of easing the workload for junior doctors in England by implementing a single system for their training.

Currently, doctors in the early stages of their career may need to repeat all 11 training sessions multiple times per year as they rotate through different hospitals.

A review is being conducted to address this issue and allow young medics to avoid repeating the same modules each time they join a new trust.

Sir Stephen Powis, NHS England's national medical director, has confirmed the review.
