Abstract

Previous surveys of UK dermatology trainees have identified key patterns regarding future career intentions that can help to inform workforce planning as consultant vacancies continue to grow. We invited all doctors training in dermatology, as well as all dermatology doctors who have completed training between 2018-2023 to complete separate surveys over a six-week period. These surveys explored: career locations, working patterns, pull factors towards particular posts, and push factors away from NHS consultant posts. The findings of these surveys confirm persisting trends towards less than full time working, ongoing limited geographical mobility of trainees, and a reducing appetite for academic work all identified in previous surveys. This survey offers the first insight into the working lives and factors influencing these career choices of consultants who completed their dermatology training between 2018-2023.
