General Medical Council Introduction

Introduction These reference tables support and supplement the General Medical Council (GMC) report The State of Medical Education and Practice in the UK (SoMEP) 2019. They are available in both Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) and Microsoft Excel 2003 (.xls) formats. The tables are based upon registration data from the GMC's List of Registered Medical Practitioners (LRMP) and national training survey (NTS) census records. The registration data is reported as on 30 June each year and was downloaded on 4 July 2019. The NTS data was downloaded in July 2019. Other sets of reference tables are available on the GMC website at www.gmc-uk.org/somep2019. Registered and licensed doctors Tables 1 to 7, 43 to 50, 85, 87, 89 and 91 are shown for all registered doctors; the remainder of the tables for licensed doctors only. Not all doctors on the medical register are licensed to practise medicine in the UK. By staying on the register they are demonstrating that they remain in good standing with the GMC and that they want to retain a connection to the GMC and to the profession as a whole. They cannot treat patients but may be using their skills in a variety of different settings. Where one table shows counts of GPs and another table shows counts of Specialists, the small number of doctors who are on both the GP Register and the Specialist Register are included in both. Doctors in training Doctors were reported as being in training if they were licensed on 30 June each year, were included in the NTS census in March each year and did not respond to the NTS indicating that they were not trainees. Doctors in training have to be licensed during their Foundation training. After two years of Foundation training, doctors may elect to train to join the GP Register, to train to join the Specialist Register, or to take up a staff post. Abbreviations The following abbreviations are used throughout the tables: EEA - European Economic Area GP - General Practitioner IMG - International Medical Graduate PMQ - Primary Medical Qualification Further information For assistance in using the tables, please contact Data, Research and Insight Hub at [email protected].
