The annual publication of data relating to doctors’ performance or progress of doctors at critical training milestones helps us investigate factors associated with variation – such as location, specialty or demographic characteristics.
This project was part of a programme of research commissioned by the General Medical Council (GMC) to explore why UK doctors from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups, and doctors whose Primary Medical Qualification (PMQ) is from a medical school outside of the UK have, on average, poorer outcomes in assessments and recruitment compared to white doctors and UK medical school graduates.
