The trainees’ Point of View Survey is the London Deanery’s survey of postgraduate medical trainees in London, alternating annually between north and south of the Thames.

The survey is one of a series started in 1996/7.1 These surveys have proved a valuable means of monitoring the educational contract between the London Deanery, the Workforce Development Confederations and the NHS Trusts who employ the trainees and provide the training. They also offer insights into the demographic make-up of postgraduate medical trainees, their attitudes and their career intentions. The Trust codes are confidential. Each participating Chief Executive will receive a full report with a key to their Trust code and a letter highlighting the areas for congratulation or concern within their Trust. Specialty training committees will receive a detailed analysis of their specialty. Further information, within the constraints of confidentiality for both Trusts and trainees, is available on request from the authors at London Deanery, Stewart House 32 Russell Square , London WC1B 5DN or contact Maryanne Aitken maitken@londondeanery.ac.uk. The full report and set of tables can be downloaded from the panel on the right of this page.
