Health

Objectives To identify factors that improve retention in under-doctored areas that experience difficulties in maintaining sufficient medical workforce. Design Qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews, collected as part of a larger study. Setting Four purposely sampled geographic case study sites in England. Three case study sites were selected as areas that struggled to recruit and retain doctors and one as an area that is oversubscribed. This comprised 27 NHS Trusts, plus 1449 GP practices. Participants 100 National Health Service (NHS)-employed doctors (including general practitioners, consultant specialists, specialty and specialist doctors, resident doctors/doctors in postgraduate training and locally employed doctors) were interviewed between December 2022 and March 2024.
