    Newly qualified doctors expressed significant dissatisfaction with their houseyear, citing excessive work hours and minimal educational value. A proposed shift system could improve both doctor well-being and patient care.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Healthcare Management
    • Doctoral Training

    Background:

    • The traditional houseyear for medical graduates has been a cornerstone of early postgraduate training.
    • Concerns regarding resident workload, educational content, and patient interaction quality have been raised historically.
    • The University of Birmingham's 1975 medical graduates provide a specific cohort for evaluating this training period.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the level of satisfaction among recent medical graduates regarding their preregistration houseyear.
    • To identify specific areas of dissatisfaction within the houseyear structure and duties.
    • To propose potential solutions for improving the houseyear experience for doctors and patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire survey was administered to all medical graduates from the University of Birmingham who completed their preregistration year in July 1975.

  • The survey focused on evaluating various aspects of the houseyear, including workload, educational components, patient interaction, and task nature.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant level of dissatisfaction was reported by the surveyed housemen.
    • Key issues identified include excessively long and demanding work hours, insufficient educational value, limited patient contact time, and monotonous work.
    • The findings highlight systemic problems within the structure of the early postgraduate medical training year.

    Conclusions:

    • The current houseyear system is perceived negatively by many junior doctors, impacting their well-being and professional development.
    • A shift system is proposed as a viable solution to mitigate issues such as fatigue and improve work-life balance.
    • Implementing a shift system could lead to enhanced care for patients and a more positive experience for resident doctors.
