News: National Training Surveys deadline extended
02 June 2010
More time to give us your views on training
The GMC is now responsible for the National Training Surveys formerly overseen by PMETB and has extended the deadline for completion this year to 30 June 2010. (In the Northern Ireland deanery, where the surveys began earlier, the deadline was extended to 31 May 2010.)
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.
Survey reports will be available to deaneries online from August 2010 and the National Key Findings report will be published in the winter.
Mr John Smith, Chair of the Surveys Working Group which oversees the development of the National Training Surveys said:
'Survey responses help us to regulate the quality of training; ensuring patients receive care that is delivered safely and to the standards they deserve. Ultimately we want UK trainees to complete their training as world-class doctors; making sure they are well prepared for the needs of healthcare and best-placed for the posts they have earned.'
