The EMTA Survey
Since 2016 EMTA have conducted regular surveys of EM trainees to explore experiences of training and working in EM. These surveys, used alongside other resources like the GMC National Training Survey, help to inform EMTA policy and to identify and prioritise adverse trends in training delivery.
This data has allowed EMTA to:
-
push for equitable EDT provision
-
call for fairer balancing of LTFT rotas
-
advocate for more consistent exposure to paediatrics, minors and ultrasound
-
demonstrate variation in simulation offerings at local and regional levels
-
highlight unacceptable incivility
We thank all trainees who take part in these surveys - your input is vital in making sure that EMTA represents you.
