The National Training Surveys 2010 have closed with 64,000 trainees and trainers taking part.
High quality medical education and training in the UK can only happen with continuous feedback from those that matter most and the National Training Surveys allow trainers and trainees to have their voices heard.
Paul Buckley, Director of Education at the GMC
The latest National Training Surveys have closed with record responses.
This year, 64,000 trainees and trainers have taken part. The surveys, which started four years ago, are invaluable in providing evidence for detailed evaluation of postgraduate medical education and training across the UK.
Nearly 47,000 trainees (88 per cent) and over 17,000 trainers completed the surveys with the biggest rise coming from consultant trainers; over 4,400 responses more than last year.
These responses will help the GMC in ensuring high standards of education and training - and also the delivery of high quality care for patients now and in the future.
