The state of medical education and practice in the UK: 2019Reference tables – based on registration data

General Medical Council Introduction

Introduction These reference tables support and supplement the General Medical Council (GMC) report The State of Medical Education and Practice in the UK (SoMEP) 2019 and the Workforce paper. They are available in both Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) and Microsoft Excel 2003 (.xls) formats. The tables are based upon registration data from the GMC's List of Registered Medical Practitioners (LRMP) and national training survey (NTS) census records. The registration data is reported as on 30 June each year and was downloaded on 1 July 2019. The NTS data was downloaded in the June following each of the annual surveys in the years 2012 to 2019 inclusive. Other sets of reference tables are available on the GMC website at www.gmc-uk.org/somep2019. Registered and licensed doctors In these reference tables, some overall analyses are shown for all registered doctors and some for all licensed doctors. The most detailed tables are presented for licensed doctors only. Not all doctors on the medical register are licensed to practise medicine in the UK. By staying on the register they are demonstrating that they remain in good standing with the GMC and that they want to retain a connection to the GMC and to the profession as a whole. They cannot treat patients but may be using their skills in a variety of different settings. Licensing was first introduced in November 2009. The number of licensed doctors is not a measure of the size of the workforce, but a measure of the potentially available workforce. Changes in the numbers of licensed doctors in the years following the introduction of licensing should be interpreted with caution. The numbers may also have been affected by the introduction of Revalidation at the end of 2012; this requires doctors to demonstrate every five years that they are keeping their knowledge and skills up to date. Where one table shows counts of GPs and another table shows counts of specialists, the small number of doctors who are on both the GP Register and the Specialist Register are excluded from both. Doctors in training Doctors were reported as being in training if they were licensed on 30 June each year, were included in the NTS census in March of each year and did not respond to the NTS indicating that they were not trainees. Doctors in training have to be licensed during their Foundation training. After two years of Foundation training, doctors may elect to train to join the GP Register, to train to join the Specialist Register, or to take up a staff post. Date of birth estimation When there is no data available for a doctor's date of birth, we subtract 24 years from the full date that they passed their primary medical qualification (PMQ). This is a minor improvement in precision from previous editions of SoMEP that subtracted 24 years from the year, and not full date, of passing a PMQ. Abbreviations The following abbreviations are used throughout the tables: EEA - European Economic Area GP - General Practitioner IMG - International Medical Graduate n/a - Not available PMQ - Primary Medical Qualification Further information For assistance in using the tables, please contact the Data, Research and Insight Hub (DRIH) at [email protected].
