title: Medical workforce speciality review for genitourinary medicine 2001/2002-England, wales, northern ireland and Scotland.
abstract: This document addresses medical workforce needs for the speciality of Genitourinary Medicine (GUM) for the next 10 years. Data on current consultant numbers, working patterns and retirement are based on information from the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) Workforce Unit annual census undertaken on 30 September 2000. Information on specialist registrars is from the JCHMT. Senior house officers (SHO) data are from the RCP's General Professional Training department. Data on Non-Consultant Career Grade Doctors is from the Association of Genitourinary Medicine Survey. Data on incidence of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are from KC60 returns on STIs collected from GUM clinics by CDSC. There is considerable movement of doctors in GUM between countries in the UK both during progression from SpR to consultant and at consultant level. Data are therefore presented as amalgamated UK data and also by country. It is essential that workforce planning takes this lateral movement into consideration when undertaking calculations for future workforce requirements.
