RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Evaluation of the experiences of trainees seeking employment after completion of their vocational training JF The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO J R Coll Gen Pract FD British Journal of General Practice SP 29 OP 33 VO 35 IS 270 A1 Michael A. North YR 1985 UL http://bjgp.org/content/35/270/29.abstract AB Two thousand questionnaires were sent to doctors receiving a certificate of prescribed or equivalent experience from the Joint Committee on Postgraduate Training for General Practice over a two-year period. More than 1,400 forms were returned. Seventeen per cent of respondents from 1982 experienced unemployment on completion of their vocational training and this figure had almost doubled by 1983. Some groups of people experienced more problems than others in finding employment but most respondents eventually found a post in which they were happy. Likewise, approval periods and parity varied considerably, and the majority of respondents appeared satisfied with what they achieved.
