Description
Catharina Savelkoul and Sophie Park study how a fairer funding tariff changed undergraduate general practice teaching in England, in 2026 work. The 2022 tariff pays the same rate for clinical teaching in every setting, funding GP teaching on par with hospital teaching for the first time. No published evidence had judged its effects. The team held in-depth interviews with teaching leads at medical schools. Ten interviews from English schools, each with a different school, formed the core data.
Six themes emerged from the talks. Leads said the tariff made budgets transparent and put spending power in their hands. Curricula grew, central teaching teams expanded, and new projects started. Better pay helped recruit and keep teaching practices, and quality rose. Reporting rules added outside legitimacy and steadier rollout across schools. As oversight shifts to a new home, the authors urge keeping the transparent budget setup that made the gains possible.
