Abstract
The training of Acute Physicians is crucial for future delivery of high-quality urgent care. The 2024 Acute Medicine Trainee Survey gathered 124 responses, assessing training satisfaction, challenges, and progress since the 2022 curriculum update. Most trainees (66.2%) reported satisfaction, with access to training in Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) improving (74.7% vs. 63% in 2023). Disparities in training provision and burnout remain significant concerns, with 29.1% experiencing burnout and 40% feeling at risk of this. Key challenges included patient flow issues, rota gaps, and limited respect from colleagues. Despite this, trainee satisfaction is rising, with the majority (88.7%) recommending a career in Acute Medicine. Continued efforts are essential to ensure equitable access to training opportunities and supporting well-being in this demanding specialty.
