Why do doctors want to train in hospital?

The GMC National Trainee Survey results have now been published. The survey ask trainee doctors to rate their workload, training and supervision. The results are available and searchable online - to get to the results click here.

The National Trainee Survey reports survey results for trainees in each training programme by Deanery. Each box is a score out of 100 which represents who positively or negatively trainees answered the question to each indicator. The higher the number the more positive was their response. If the box is not coloured it is similar to the national average. If it is highlighted red it is significantly worse that the national average and highlighted green is better than the national average.

Below is the data for our local hospital and also for GP trainees in our local GP training practices:


As you can see trainee doctors in local GP practices are much more satisfied that their colleagues in hospital training posts and indeed for three indicators were more satisfied that their national colleagues. Our local GP trainees seem very satisfied with their teaching and training, so why or why do doctors want to train for hospital posts?

The report also shows the continued huge inter practice variation. Of 136 practices that commented about their risks and mitigation's only one practice said it had no workforce risks. The risks could be summarises under the following headings: Recruitment / retention /retirement Workload Resource co...
