National training survey
The General Medical Council’s 2025 national training survey consulted over 71,000 doctors and trainers. This year’s data highlights the general pressures faced by trainers with 29% reporting training was adversely affected because of rota gaps. The survey underpins the need for more flexible, fair, and innovative training pathways, reflecting the ambitions set out in the 10 Year Health Plan for England and the priorities of similar workforce strategies across the UK.
