AnnotationThis bulletin summarises the results of an audit of medical staffing in most NHS acute hospital trusts following the 1995 report 'The doctor's tale'. Consultants' operating and outpatient workload varies widely, and some trusts could make better use of consultants' jobs plans. The amount of supervision junior doctors receive varies; in some cases, they derive little or no training benefit. Medical training could be better organised and managed, and delivery of training could be improved. NHS trusts need to take a strategic approach to their investment in medical staff.
