The current issue of the journal includes an article providing unique insight into the experiences of international medical graduates (IMGs) new to the NHS, offering a unique perspective on their views, feelings and struggles. An important, connected and often underestimated matter is the thorny issue of differential attainment, and how it affects and blights IMGs' careers. Differential attainment in UK medical training refers to systematic differences in performance, progression and access to training opportunities. Differential attainment is defined as variation in group, as opposed to individual, attainment based on the protected characteristics of age, gender, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy, race, religion or belief and sexual orientation, as defined in the Equality Act 2010.
