UKMED's report included in WHO's publication on 'Strengthening the collection, analysis and use of health workforce data and information'.

31.01.23

UKMED's report 'Where do graduates go?' has been included in WHO's handbook on 'Strengthening the collection, analysis and use of health workforce data and information'.

The report tackles essential questions about the future of medical education and selection, including whether the correct applicants are being selected; if enough is being done to identify those from disadvantaged backgrounds and support them to demonstrate their full potential as doctors; if the system is producing doctors in the specialties the NHS needs – rather than the specialties in which the individuals selected choose to work; and whether those chosen are keen to work in remote or deprived communities. 

Read UKMED's Chapter in the handbook.
