Exploring the 'award gap' between international medical graduates and UK medical graduates in general practice training
International medical graduates (IMGs) currently account for 41% of the UK medical workforce. IMGs in training posts face challenges in progression including a significant ‘award gap’ (previously differential attainment) in postgraduate training compared to UK medical graduates. General practice (GP) is disproportionately impacted by these issues in progression as over 50% of GP trainees are IMGs. Previous studies have focused on educational interventions to reduce the award gap but have failed to improve training outcomes.This DPhil project aims to increase understanding of the mechanisms underlying the award gap and the potential impacts for patients and the public.
Healthcare AI has a trust problem – and patients with complex conditions are paying the price
A new end-to-end ecosystem for clinical AI – from data preparation to implementation – offers the NHS a reproducible blueprint for deploying trustworthy, human-centred tools for patients with multiple long-term conditions.
When hospital is the problem: building the economic case for treating eating disorders at home
Hospital admission for adolescent eating disorders can disrupt recovery. ARC OxTV is building the economic evidence for Hospital at Home – an intensive community-based alternative developed in the Thames Valley.

OxWell Student Survey: what 170,000 young people told us about their mental health
The OxWell Student Survey has gathered responses from over 170,000 young people across England since 2019. Its data platform returns findings directly to schools and local authorities, driving changes to mental health support, school policies, and commissioning decisions.
ARTEMIS: a self-managed app that helps adults lose weight – without clinician input
The ARTEMIS app helped adults lose weight without any clinician input – and more than doubled the odds of clinically meaningful weight loss. A large trial shows it works safely, equitably, and at minimal cost.
