We have now launched the annual census of Consultants in Diabetes and Endocrinology. This is being done on behalf of ABCD, SfE, Diabetes UK and The Royal College of Physicians London who are also project managing this census.
There has never been a more important time to gather information about how were all working and the impact our jobs have on our lives.
The data from this census is used to plan the future workforce of our specialty, identify current gaps, help colleagues in making justification of expanding their departments, show how hard we work outside our specialty both in General Internal Medicine but also related activities such as education and management.
It only takes 10 minutes to fill in the new census and you can even fill it in on your phone. 10 minutes of your time will help us influence governments, support workforce planning and contribute to health policy.
If you have not received an invitation, but would like to take part, please email MedicalWorkforce.Unit@rcplondon.ac.uk or stellageorge@nhs.net
