Homegrown Healers: A Shift in Priorities Yields Promising Results A recent law prioritizing UK medical graduates has led to a significant increase in homegrown doctors, with the NHS acknowledging the benefits of investing in its own talent.

The legislation, introduced by Wes Streeting when he was health secretary, aimed to put homegrown talent at the front of the queue for medical training posts.
