General Practitioners: Training
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of GP trainees qualified as GPs in each of the last three years.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
General practice (GP) speciality training has maintained a low rate of attrition over the last three years of approximately 1.3% to 1.5%, and the average length of time to complete GP training has remained at 3.8 years.
A proportion of trainees achieving a Certificate of Completion of Training is difficult to provide as programme length can vary due to individual circumstances, such as changes in working hours, maternity/paternity leave, sick leave, and out of programme activities.
