    Area of Science:

    • Medical Workforce Planning
    • Paediatrician Career Progression
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Paediatric manpower investigations are crucial for understanding medical workforce dynamics.
    • Previous studies have examined registrar and senior registrar career paths.
    • Understanding loss factors is key to accurate workforce modeling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the paediatrician career structure in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
    • To identify limitations in the current training pyramid for paediatric registrars.
    • To propose improvements for registrar registration and career support.

    Main Methods:

    • Two distinct investigations were conducted: a longitudinal study of registrars' career progression and a cross-sectional analysis of the paediatric establishment.

  • Loss factors (emigration, retirement, specialty transfer) were quantified.
  • A model of the paediatric career structure was developed using data from both surveys.

    • Main Results:

    • The current paediatrician career pyramid is insufficient to absorb the number of registrars in training.
    • Significant loss factors affect registrar progression.
    • A substantial proportion of women in paediatrics face challenges balancing career and family.

    Conclusions:

    • Urgent implementation of a comprehensive registrar registration scheme is needed, including those with honorary contracts.
    • The current structure poses a significant barrier to paediatrician career progression.
    • Addressing gender-specific challenges is essential for retaining women in paediatrics.
