Abstract
The Department of Health and Social Security introduced schemes for part time training in 1969 and 1976 aimed at improving the use of the growing number of women medical graduates especially; the current scheme is set out in DHSS personnel memorandum PM(79)3. The Oxford region, under the inspiration of Dr E Rosemary Rue, has been the leader in implementing these schemes. The Oxford regional advisers of the Royal College of Physicians have thus had particular concern over the difficulties, and called attention to them at a meeting of college regional advisers in 1976-7 and again in 1979-80. On this last occasion the meeting of regional advisers, supported by the president, responded by commissioning a survey of the problems in general medicine and its subspecialties in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, which was carried out by us in 1981. A preliminary report was made to the regional advisers in October 1981, but because of its length and subsequent receipt of further data and more research, we now present this final and shortened report to the college for action.
