The categories reflect the criteria in Box 1. Response rates (% of responding trainees) have been flagged (orange<50%, yellow = 50–75%, green>75%) for clarity. Because of the small numbers of respondents per site, the training units have been anonymised and classified as teaching or district general hospital units. Responses from trainers have not been divided by site because of low numbers.
CPD = continuing professional development; DGH = district general hospital; Ed Sup = educational supervision; GIM = general internal medicine; QuIP = quality improvement project; SLE: systematic learning event; TH = teaching hospital; WBA = workplace-based assessment.)
