Information from a study group of doctors training or recently trained in occupational medicine was gathered using a self-administered questionnaire mailed to each subject's registered address. Of the 224 individuals identified from scrutiny of records held by the Faculty of Occupational Medicine, replies were received from 181 (81 per cent). Recruitment occurs in broadly equal proportions from general practice, general practice trainees, the hospital sector and the forces, with a wide diversity of experience among trainees. On average, trainees experience at least two industrial sectors during their training. There were disappointingly small numbers in part-time training.
