Staff grades and associate specialists: their continuing professional development and aspirations.

A survey of staff grades and associate specialists in the Oxford deanery showed that there were slightly more females (53%). There were 44% who had on-call commitments, a third of these were first on call. Thirty-eight per cent of the staff grades and 55% of the associate specialists had membership or fellowship of their relevant Royal College. The majority undertake continuing professional development and a majority would like promotion but only a small minority is prepared to relocate to further their training.

Outcome of diabetic pregnancy and glucose intolerance in pregnancy: an audit of fetal loss in Newcastle General Hospital 1977-1990.

The outcome of pregnancy complicated by established diabetes or gestational glucose intolerance (diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance) is compared with the outcome of non-diabetic pregnancy. Between 1977 and 1990, 169 pregnancies in women with established diabetes and 61 pregnancies in women with gestational glucose intolerance were referred to the Newcastle General Hospital. The perinatal mortality (PNM) in women with established diabetes was 8.2/1000 and the viable fetal loss (sum of PNM, neonatal and infant loss) was 41/1000. The PNM in women with gestational glucose intolerance was 49.2/1000 and the viable fetal loss was 82/1000. The PNM in the background population was 11.6/1000. The fetal malformation rate was 17.3% for established diabetes, 9.8% in gestational glucose intolerance and 2.2% in the background population. Fetal abnormality remains the major cause of viable fetal loss in both established diabetes and gestational glucose intolerance.

Training in general (internal) medicine alone.

A freestanding training programme for general (internal) medicine (G(I)M) alone was established in the Oxford deanery four years ago. The programme was designed to provide three years' training post-MRCP for specialist registrars, selected in open competition, and covers all aspects of acute medical care including four months in intensive care. The first four to complete training have achieved consultant level appointments. The programme also attracted a number of trainees who wished to obtain appropriate qualifications in high dependency and critical care medicine. The programme offers the opportunity to create specialists properly trained in G(I)M who will be able to continue to provide an important service as specialists or practising as consultants in G(I)M alone.
