Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • The pre-registration year for house officers has dual aims: providing service to senior staff and meeting educational objectives set by the General Medical Council (GMC) and post-graduate deans.
  • A significant tension exists between these two core objectives, impacting the effectiveness of the training year.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the divergence between service requirements and educational goals during the pre-registration house officer year.
  • To explore strategies for enhancing house officers' sense of ownership and connection to their trust hospitals.
  • To advocate for a strategic reappraisal and reprofiling of the pre-registration year.

Main Methods:

  • The study examined the inherent conflict between the service demands and educational objectives of the pre-registration year.
  • Qualitative analysis likely involved exploring the experiences and perceptions of house officers and stakeholders.

Main Results:

  • A considerable tension was identified between the service provision and educational components of the pre-registration year.
  • The study highlights challenges in fostering a sense of belonging and commitment among house officers to their hospitals.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing the identified problems requires a strategic audit and re-evaluation of the pre-registration year's purpose.
  • Reprofiling the year is suggested to create a more enriching work and learning environment for junior doctors.
