Barometer survey
We commissioned IFF Research to conduct an online survey of doctors: the Barometer survey.
The GMC Barometer survey is a tracking survey that we run every year to find out how doctors’ experiences of practising in the UK are changing over time. The key findings are reported in The state of medical education and practice in the UK.
The 2022 survey, as in previous years, covered doctors’ satisfaction in their working lives, career intentions over the next year, experiences in the workplace and adaptations to pressurised environments.
We also commissioned IFF to undertake follow up qualitative research with a small number of trainers that took part in the 2022 Barometer survey, to understand more about their role and how they balance it with their other responsibilities as a doctor.
