Notice Title
State of Medical Education and Practice (SoMEP) Barometer Survey 2026
Notice Description
This research is part of our ongoing work to measure and track the state of medical practice in the UK. Findings from the Barometer survey allow us to report on changes in doctors' career intentions, experiences in the workplace, and frequency of adaptations to pressurised environments; providing this in the context of their scope of practice. Whilst the Barometer survey is conducted annually, we are only currently tendering for the work that will take place in 2026. The Barometer survey is one of the central sources of evidence underpinning the GMC's State of Medical Education and Practice (SoMEP) workplace experiences report which provides a comprehensive picture of doctors' experiences and the realities and challenges they face. The SoMEP workplace experiences report is drafted by GMC staff but will draw heavily on this research through direct interrogation of survey data and content from presentations, reports and other deliverables.
