The COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of children globally with major health, social and educational consequences. Vaccines are one of the first lines of defense against infectious diseases. However, the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination were less clear cut in children compared to adults. New research from NDPCHS explores the safety of the different COVID-19 vaccines for children and young people.
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.
