Record medical training posts filled in Scotland
According to statistics, more medical training posts have been filled in 2022, than any other year since 2013, when records began.
1,073 doctors in training posts, out of the 1,155 advertised, were filled.
Core Psychiatry, Clinical Radiology and Core Surgical Training had a 100 per cent fill rate and General Practice was 99 per cent.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said: “The results of this year’s recruitment process continue to show that Scotland is a highly desirable place to live, train and work as a trainee doctor. This is testament to our first-class medical education system and flexible training opportunities.
“Building on our high staffing levels, that have consistently grown for the last decade, is absolutely vital to the recovery of our NHS and I would like to thank each and every doctor in training who has opted to pursue their career in Scotland. All NHS Scotland staff work tirelessly to meet the healthcare needs of our country.
“We realise that there is always room for improvement and will therefore continue to work with NHS Education for Scotland to support our trainees as much as we possibly can to ensure the sustainability of our workforce.”
