(asked on 8th March 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many doctors have (a) commenced and (b) finished their training in each of the last five years.
The table provides figures on a United Kingdom basis for the number of trainees entering further training at Foundation Year 1 (F1) for the last 5 years. However, it should be noted that not all doctors commence their training in the UK at F1, and an accurate figure for these is not available.
2011/12 | 2012/13 | 2013/14 | 2014/15 | 2015/16 |
7,314 | 7,257 | 7,330 | 7,678 | 7,478 |
The General Medical Council (GMC) issue Certificates of Completion of Training (CCT) to doctors who complete a full GMC approved speciality training programme. The UK figures for the last five years available from the GMC are:
2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 |
