The Government has not altered its decision to reduce, by 2%, the number of students entering medical school in 2014.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Health Education England (HEE) has not, to date, undertaken a comprehensive review of medical student intake numbers since that undertaken by the Health and Education National Strategic Exchange review published in December 2012.<\/p>
<\/p>

<\/p>
The requirement for graduate doctors (and the medical student intakes that create this supply) will form an integral part of the 2015 annual workforce planning process undertaken by HEE.<\/p>

These tables exclude doctors who were registered with a status of \u201cTemporary full registration for special purpose registrations\u201d, which allows doctors to be registered for a temporary period in order to treat non-UK nationals within the UK. For example, we had a significant number of doctors who were registered temporarily in 2012 to accompany their national team to the Olympic or Paralympic games. The tables also exclude \u201cTemporary full registration for visiting eminent specialists\u201d. These registrations are for doctors visiting the UK for a temporary period to provide specialist knowledge and skills in a particular branch of medicine and cannot exceed 26 weeks in a 5 year period.<\/p> <\/p>"}
