  • This is written to make it sound like the cap is new, but there's always been a cap.

    The cap is in place not because universities can't handle the students, but because every medical student needs a placement, and there is - quite rightly - a cap on placements to stop medical students cluttering up our hospitals.

    In other words this isn't news, it's just another bollocks Times 'story'.

  • The cap was lifted during COVID and is now going back to the old lower level despite NHS England and the new medical schools asking for it to stay lifted and saying they can fulfill the placement requirements
