MSC & GMC Survey
In 2012 both organisations carried out a joint survey on SFTP
The first part of the survey looked at the relationships between different bodies involved in the SFTP process.
The second part asked for views of the current joint guidance on SFTP and how it might be improved.
23 medical schools responded
Survey results
17 schools explicitly said that they found the guidance helpful
2 schools said the guidance was not helpful
Medical schools would like more practical examples and case studies which show how the guidance should be applied in practise.
Survey results
More guidance was requested on:
The link between SFTP and provisional registration.
