EMTA undertakes annual and extraordinary surveys of trainees with the objective to obtain widespread, representative opinion on training, working environment and other matters relevant to trainees. These surveys are also published on the EMTA website along side blogs.
The survey was completed by 367 trainees with demographics broadly representative of the wider trainee body. It contains 59 questions and was available to all UK EM trainees to complete from March 8 to April 13 2020.
A deliberate decision was taken to continue to run the EMTA survey despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey still allows us to capture longitudinal data and comment on trends in the state of Emergency Medicine Training in the UK, and it was felt may even help to highlight where differences exist as a result of the pandemic.
Key Findings
The survey is available here: EMTA Survey 2020.
