Delay in publication of the BSG Workforce Report
The BSG Workforce Report draws on data from the RCP consultant and specialty registrar census, BSG CSSC & Workforce Survey and the BSG Trainees Survey. It is usually published annually on 31st October. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, BSG surveys were postponed and the RCP census publication is now planned for November 2020. Therefore, the BSG CSSC & Workforce Census will run in September 2020 and consequently this year’s Workforce Report will be published towards the end of November 2020.
