Introduction

The BMA, as part of the pay offer to English Resident Doctors, has agreed to undertake a review into rotational training with the UK Government. Further to this, the BMA is in discussions regarding reforms of rotational training in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland separate to this review. By rotational training, this is the current form of training whereby resident doctors ‘rotate’ between trusts/health boards and, in many cases, employers across their training programme.

In order to ensure we can achieve the best possible reforms to the system, the BMA is asking consultants, SAS Doctors, and GPs who are educational/ clinical supervisors, to respond to some questions on your experiences in the role via the enclosed link. It will ask you about your views of the rotational training system from your view as an educational/clinical supervisor for rotating doctors, which will then inform how we can deliver substantive, useful changes.

GDPR statement: This information is being collected to inform the BMA's policy and actions relating to rotational training for resident doctors in the NHS in the UK.

This data may include incomplete responses where the respondent has exited the survey before the final submission page. Data will be retained by the BMA for a period not exceeding 12 months post the closure of the survey, before final deletion. Individual identifiable data will not be shared with third parties. Anonymised or statistical data may be used publicly or shared with third parties. Participants should not provide personal data of any person unless they are specifically asked to do so.
