Recommendation for medical specialty training for 2011

The CfWI carried out a piece of work in 2010 to analyse and inform on the numbers of doctors going into medical specialty training following on from foundation training. The work, commissioned by the Department of Health (DH), in consultation with strategic health authorities (SHAs) and Medical Education England (MEE), makes recommendations on numbers for the 2011 intake.

The report:
  • contains an overall analysis of numbers going into medical specialty training
  • contains more detailed analyses for each specialty
  • identifies which medical specialties are at risk of over supply as well as identifying the geographical balance.
This report is the first of a number of reports looking at the shape and size of the overall workforce needed for the NHS of the future. As one of the first pieces of work carried out by the CfWI in its current form, and within a constricted time span, the underpinning research is necessarily limited, but the report makes reliable recommendations and identifies emerging messages.

Medical summary sheets

A recommendation was made for the medical training numbers for 2011. These sheets summarise the drivers that influenced the recommendations, and state the 2011 recommendations by specialty. The individual sheets were extracted from the CfWI report Recommendation for Medical Specialty Training 2011 which contains an explanation of the approach taken in producing the recommendations.
