title: Allocation of junior hospital doctors to pre-registration posts: does Britain need a national matching scheme?
abstract: The attitudes of British postgraduate deans and senior medical students to the introduction of a national pre-registration house officer allocation scheme were investigated by postal questionnaire. Several postgraduate deans expressed interest, but most were not in favour of the proposal. Students held similar views. The advantages and disadvantages of a national scheme are discussed.
