Our Practitioner Performance Advice service has published its latest Insights paper, reviewing the specialties that feature in the cases we advise on and key themes that exist within each of these. We found that surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, psychiatry and emergency medicine have the highest proportion of cases per 1,000 doctors in the workforce for each specialty, with psychiatry being the specialty with the highest rate of cases, while emergency medicine has seen an increase in cases requesting advice from us since the Covid-19 pandemic.
