NHS Resolution -
This annual practitioner characteristics paper looks at 3,645 practitioners for whom NHS Resolution received a request for advice over a five-year period from April 2019 to March 2024 and provides an update of our publication from last year. Consistent with last year’s analysis, it finds that international medical graduates (IMGs), those from an ethnic minority background and practitioners who are older or male, continue to be overrepresented in concerns reported to us by employers and contracting bodies. This year’s analysis shows that behaviour/misconduct features in 73% of the cases, which has not changed substantially from last year’s findings of 70% of cases involving this type of concern.
