The hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not a College
Course, a Medical Course but a Life Course, for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation
William Osler, The Student Life, Address to Students at McGill University, April 1905

• Run through or coupled: progression to the next level of training is automatic provided you meet all the competency requirements
• Uncoupled: split into ‘core’ and ‘higher’ training: two or three years of core training, followed by competition into higher training

But it’s not quite that simple …
Not everyone can (or wants to) become a consultant Staff, Associate Specialist and Specialty (SAS) doctors (around
14,000) Challenge is to develop this grade
Not everyone stays in clinical practice: Public health Academic research Medical law Management Pharmaceutical industry Journalism

But it’s not quite that simple …
There are other routes to the specialist and GP register: CESR (Certificate confirming eligibility for specialist
registration) CEGPR (Certificate confirming eligibility for GP registration)
Designed to assess applications from doctors who have not followed a traditional training programme but who may have gained the same skills and knowledge
Assessment is now undertaken by GMC

Some trends in medical workforce - England
Doctors in training current represent 36% of NHS medical workforce (135,916)
DH workforce projections suggest by 2029 doctors in training will represent 28% of NHS medical workforce (168,000)
Training numbers broadly the same
Aim is for 54,000 GPs (now 34,000), 52,000 specialists (now 35,000)
Future need for more GPs (many retiring), and particularly in UK urban centres
