From Tuesday 21 March 2023, doctors have been urged to share their perspectives on topics across learning, support and supervision in the General Medical Council (GMC)'s yearly National training survey.
The survey provides an unparalleled insight into the experiences of trainees and those training them, who together represent a third of UK doctors.
This year, new questions seek to understand the extent of discrimination and unprofessional behaviours in medical education and training. The data will provide insight in to how supportive, inclusive and fair environments can be fostered, and highlight any themes or issues that may need more attention.
Questions focus on topics such as:
- Experiences of everyday discrimination, for example microaggressions and stereotyping
- Confidence in challenging and reporting discrimination and unprofessional behaviours
- Availability of mentorship to trainees and access to training and support
The survey is open until midday on Thursday 4 May 2023. The results will be published later this year. Find out more about the annual National training survey and completed it here.
