2012 National Training Survey

The survey has now closed.

The results are now available to view on the GMC website.

Oxford Deanery had a very high response rate this year; 96%.

The purpose of the survey will be to assess the effectiveness of, and the perceptions of postgraduate medical education and training. The output will provide analysis and reporting to assist the GMC , Postgraduate Deaneries, Royal Colleges and local education providers to improve the quality of training. Informed decisions can be made regarding issues arising, managing change, and the future direction of doctor education in the UK.

Within the Deanery we view the survey response as a professional requirement of a doctors training which needs to be completed as part of the training contract.

If you are a Deanery trainee and need to complete the survey, please kindly note the following:

The GMC have produced a powerpoint presentation which you may find helpful. It sets out the background to the survey, what the results will tell us, and covering how to take part. They have also produced a news story with key survey information:

All survey results are anonymous, but the Deanery Quality Team here do review each and every conclusion and analyse all issues in conjunction with each Head of School and Director of Medical Education/Trust Education Lead. The survey data forms an important part of the overall quality information for each post and in turn the quality of your training, and we thank you for taking the time to complete it.

The survey results will be available on the GMC website by August and the Deanery will send you a link and further information on how to access these results once available.
