Review of Basic Medical Education in Scotland
Appendix B
: Data
The following were our principal sources of information:
Individual university medical schools on their student numbers and, in some cases, applications and entrants;
SHEFC on medical student numbers in the Scottish universities;
Dr Donald Thomson, Director of Admissions, University of Edinburgh medical school, on applicants and entrants to the five medical schools;
A dataset specially commissioned from UCAS to enable us to profile applicants and entrants to the five medical schools individually and collectively for the 1997 and 2002 entry cohorts. This was analysed for us by Laura Johnston and Hugh McAloon of ETLLD and Julie Wilson of SEHD;
A dataset specially commissioned from the Medical Careers Research Group of the Institute of Health Sciences, University of Oxford and supplied by Trevor Lambert, to enable us to establish the destination of those 1988, 1993 and 1996 graduates from the four clinical schools who responded to MCRG surveys in terms of country and type of medical or other work at appropriate points in their careers. This was analysed for us by Catriona Haddow of the Information and Statistics Division of the CSA;
The SEED on the numbers of school students passing SQA Higher examinations in 2002 in relation to the entry qualifications of medical schools, provided and analysed for us by Emma Milburn; and
The SEHD on medical career patterns, as provided to the second Temple Working Group.
Further information on the data and access to the individual datasets can be obtained from Scott Miller, SEHD, at
