Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In 2010, 2,176 medical registrars in England (43%) responded to a survey of attitudes to current and future working conditions. Regarding current working, 88% were currently happy with their job with respect to their specialty but only 49% were happy with respect to acute medicine. Even if pay was increased, 59% would only want to work a 48-hour week or less. Regarding future jobs, 59% were worried about future job prospects with 91% exploring ways of extending their training. Only 36% would consider working away from their current location as a consultant, only 42% of those trained in acute medicine wish to take part in the acute take, 15% would consider a 'sub-consultant' post and only 60% were looking forward to becoming a consultant. The findings of this survey show that medical registrars are very concerned about their future. From their perspective, clinical medicine in England is in poor health.
