<p>The United Kingdom Foundation Programme (UKFP) has surveyed doctors finishing their
second year of foundation training. The last iteration of the survey in 2019 showed
that at the end of training, 635 out of 6,864 trainees or 9.3%, reported their planned
next work destination as outside of the UK. However, it is expected that some of these
trainees will return to practice in the UK.</p><p>The UKFP survey aligns with the
latest information from the General Medical Council’s ‘The state of medical education
and practice in the UK – the workforce report 2022’, which tracked the location of
the 2016 cohort of doctors who completed their second year of foundation training.
This shows that of 6,207 doctors who finished placements in England, only 387 or 6%
had left the UK workforce after a year and 414 or 7% had left after five years. Those
leaving may be working in other countries and also include those no longer working
in the medical profession.</p>
