Preparedness of recent medical graduates to meet anticipated healthcare needs

Description

This research aims to understand to what extent recent graduates (i.e. doctors in foundation training) are prepared to meet specific anticipated healthcare needs. The proposed research approach is to explore whether graduate doctors have the skills, capabilities and attributes to meet the needs identified within three focus themes: The changing patient-doctor relationship The doctor in a multi-disciplinary team Complex clinical decision making The findings of this research will support our engagement with the development of the NHS People Plan and other workforce planning, as well as informing any further review/updating of our regulation of the undergraduate medical education or foundation programme.
