A 1984 survey revealed significant regional disparities in general practice postgraduate education course organizer roles, training, and resources across England and Wales. Most organizers faced workloads exceeding their remuneration, impacting job satisfaction and recruitment.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • General Practice Training
  • Healthcare Workforce Studies

Background:

  • Postgraduate education in general practice is crucial for healthcare quality.
  • Course organizers play a vital role in delivering this training.
  • Understanding their working conditions is essential for effective program delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey general practice postgraduate course organizers in England and Wales.
  • To identify regional variations in their roles, responsibilities, training, and facilities.
  • To assess the impact of these factors on workload, remuneration, recruitment, and job satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey conducted in August/September 1984.
  • Involved 267 course organizers across all 16 regions of England and Wales.

  • Achieved an 82% response rate, collecting data on work status, personal status, staffing, and remuneration.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant regional variations were found in course organizer roles, responsibilities, training, and provided facilities.
    • The majority of course organizers reported workloads exceeding their remunerated sessions.
    • Discrepancies in remuneration and workload were noted across different regions.

    Conclusions:

    • Variations in course organizer conditions may affect recruitment, job tenure, and satisfaction.
    • Recommendations include decoupling organizer pay from trainer pay for flexibility, enhancing training and facilities, and establishing clear job descriptions.
    • Addressing these issues is vital for improving general practice postgraduate education.
