Trainees in Practice Placements


During the General Practice rotation of your training programme, the following expenses are available according to  Circular PSC(GPR)2011/1

Please ensure your Practice Manager submits your claim forms through the NES Finance Service Desk

All Authorisers within a Practice are required to complete an Authorisers Claim Form. This will allow NES to confirm authorisation of trainee claim forms when received.

If you are a Foundation/BBT trainee in a Practice placement, please contact the Board where you are on placement who will be able to direct you to the correct forms for your employer.
