Data and research
We collect data on doctors, physician associates and anaesthesia associates, as well as some information on where they practise and train. We also carry out and commission analysis, evaluations and research. Here you can access all our resources produced through that analysis and research to help improve education and career development, patient care and workforce planning.

Every year, we publish a report on the fitness to practise concerns we receive. It includes information on how our processes work, and how we support everyone involved in our investigations.
