title: Overseas registrars training in obstetrics and gynaecology in Wales--a questionnaire survey.
abstract: Overseas doctors have been coming to the United Kingdom for further surgical training over the past several years. In Wales, up to 50% of registrars in obstetrics and gynaecology are from overseas. It is important to address issues regarding training with a view to making changes and improvements to suit individual trainee requirements. There is very little evidence obtained from literature regarding trainees' viewpoints, satisfaction, achievements and expectations with regard to overseas registrars in obstetrics and gynaecology. We undertook a questionnaire survey assessing the training of all overseas registrars in Wales from 12 hospitals in the Deanery. The results of this survey are discussed in the article with a few suggestions for change.
