“…NTS questions are not necessarily reliable 5 and both questions with negative correlation [days subtracted from study leave allowance to attend compulsory training (-0.42) and the quality of regional teaching (-0.53)] are likely not reliable amongst this group. The first question is likely irrelevant to most CMTs as few trainees in the region get close to using up their full allocation (as is the case in most of the country) and the second question likely had signifi cant interpretation diffi culties by trainees as many trusts did not have regional training programmes at the time of this survey (despite trainees scoring them as if they did).…”

Background This study explores the importance of various factors upon the overall satisfaction of Core Medical Trainees (CMTs) in the Yorkshire and Humber Deanery to aid targeting of improvement efforts. Methods Responses for all CMTs in Yorkshire and the Humber to all questions and domains from the UK National Training Survey 2017 were correlated with a marker of overall trainee satisfaction. Questions with high and low degrees of correlation were identified, as well as recurrent themes. Results Clinical supervision appears to be closely related to overall trainee satisfaction, frequently correlating well, whereas educational supervision does not. Almost all themes with high correlation were regarding day-to-day experience, whereas those correlating poorly were regarding infrastructure issues. Conclusions Assuming similar costs, to improve overall trainee experience the most limited resources are probably best targeted at those factors influencing day-to-day experience, such as freeing consultant time for clinical supervision rather than developing one-off trainee experiences.

“…Despite concerns surrounding the validity of the GMC survey and SHMI as independent standalone metrics, 40,41 through compiling, averaging, and comparing relative as opposed to change in absolute data across these 2 data sets, inaccuracies may be minimized. However, reported findings are not without caveats.…”

Hospital-level Mortality Indicator [SHMI]) pertaining to subjective physician trainee satisfaction and patient mortality within 80 United Kingdombased healthcare institutions. The direction and strength of correlation between components of the GMC National Survey and relative patient mortality as described by the SHMI were calculated. Additional outcomes included mean GMC survey scores for reported domains and mean SHMI by healthcare institution.Results: SHMI for included healthcare institutions ranged from 0.69 to 1.21 (mean [SD], 1.01 [0.1]). Mean GMC domain scores ranged between 44.61 and 88.62 (mean [SD], 71.16 [10.84]). Statistically significant correlations were observed for clinical supervision, clinical supervision out of hours, rota design, overall satisfaction, and teamwork. After application of Bonferroni correction, statistically significant correlations remained for both clinical supervision and clinical supervision out of hours.Conclusions: There is a significant association between components of subjective trainee satisfaction and patient mortality within the United Kingdom. Further investigation to examine these relationships, perhaps to target intervention, may prevent avoidable patient harm.
