We have published a new report exploring the findings from the 2025 BGS survey of Training Programme Directors (TPDs), revealing patterns in geriatric medicine training, workforce pressures, and the provision of training across the UK. It also highlights some of the key challenges facing the future workforce.
The TPD survey has been a valuable tool for the BGS to gain insight into variations in working patterns and training provision, as well as help to identify common challenges. The survey has been conducted across multiple iterations, including in 2016, 2019 and 2023, enabling analysis of trends over time. By combining these insights with existing national data, this report seeks to inform future workforce planning and support the development of a sustainable pipeline of geriatricians for the future.
