Regulating doctors, ensuring good medical practice
13 May 2010
More time has been given for completion of the National Training Surveys to enable a better response.
Survey responses help us to regulate the quality of training; ensuring patients receive care that is delivered safely and to the standards they deserve.
John Smith, Chair of the Surveys Working Group
Setting aside more time for trainees and trainers to complete the surveys will enable a greater number of responses and provide detailed evaluation of training posts across the UK.
An important emphasis for the surveys is to gain a clear overview of the experiences of trainees and their training and the quality of training from trainers.
The GMC wants to hear from trainers who have a critical role in making sure Foundation Programme and specialty, including GP trainees, experience the best possible training.
The surveys are also an opportunity for trainees to contribute their voice to the regulation of medical education and training to ensure it meets the standards required.
