Specialist registrar training and the generalist: views of trusts and health authorities.
As a results of the introduction of structured training in postgraduate medical education we undertook a survey of North Thames stakeholders in health authorities and trusts to ascertain views on the implications of the specialist registrar grade on the future shape of the clinical workforce. Trusts and health authorities expressed concern over the training of specialist doctors at the expense of training generalists to provide patient care.
