  2. Why the survey matters

  3. Your views count The survey is your opportunity to help improve the quality of postgraduate and foundation training across the UK. By filling in the survey you help us and the GMC check that you and your colleagues are receiving high quality training in a safe and effective clinical environment. Your feedback about your training post will help identify areas of good practice and areas that need improvement. You can find detailed case studies of how survey results have influenced improvements at www.gmc-uk.org/education/how-we-quality-assure/national-training-surveys. We know you may not always see the results of the survey in action – sometimes you’ve moved on before changes and improvements are made to the post you gave views on – but your response does matter. Your feedback is crucial to help make sure you are provided with high quality training.

  4. How results from this survey are used Optional Following the feedback you shared with us last year we have… [include details here of actions which your deanery has taken following last year’s results]

  5. Survey content

  6. What the survey asks you It should take between 15-20 minutes Generic training questions (multiple choice) General questions about your training post. Programme/specialty specific questions (multiple choice) Questions about your training programme (eg Foundation Programme or Cardiology) including academic questions if you are an academic trainee. Bullying and undermining (free text) If you have a concern about bullying and/or undermining, that hasn’t been resolved locally, you can report it here. Patient safety (free text) If you have a concern about patient safety, that hasn’t been resolved locally, you can report it here.

  7. Responding to your feedback We take the survey results very seriously. This year we have made a few changes to the survey questions to reflect what you told us following the 2018 survey. • In discussions with trainees and a number of stakeholders over the past year we’ve heard that facilities for rest and study may affect both the training environment and the health and wellbeing of doctors. As a result, a new set of questions on this subject have been introduced into the survey this year. • Following a successful pilot of new questions on burnout in last years survey, this year we will ask these questions again. They remain optional. For the first time we will also report the findings in the online reporting tool. • We heard that the wording of one of the questions relating to rota gaps was confusing. We trialled a revised version in 2018 which tested well. This rephrased question will remain in the 2019 survey. • We’ve made some improvements to the Less Than Full Time questions – removing those that are no longer required. This includes those that ask for perceptions of working Less Than Full Time.

  8. Confidentiality

  9. Confidentiality Your answers to multi-choice questions on training are always confidential. They will only be available in the NTS online reporting tool after being aggregated. Responses to multiple choice questions are treated in the strictest confidence and are only reported publicly in aggregated form to prevent identification of individuals. Your free text responses are treated differently. In order for your concerns to be addressed, the GMC will share your verbatim comments with your deanery/HEE local team, who in turn may share them with your employer/training provider and other regulators if needed.* Concerns are expected to be investigated in a sensitive way which protects you from any adverse consequences. For more information about this, please read the confidentiality page at www.gmc-uk.org/nts
