On Thursday 15 August, the Medical Council (the "Council") published its 2023 Medical Workforce Intelligence Report (the "Report"). The Report analyses data provided by doctors who completed the Medical Council's annual retention process in 2023.

We have outlined below some of the key findings of the Report:

Demographic Findings

It was noted that there were 19,328 clinically active doctors working in Ireland with 7.6% of that total number practicing both within Ireland and outside of Ireland. Of this amount, there was an almost equal split in relation to their self-reported roles; Consultants were at 25.6%, General Practitioner's at 23.7%, Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors in training at 21% and Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors not in training at 22.2%. Those that self – reported as specialists were at 3.5%.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go? Performance Management Or Exit Option?

Irish employers are increasingly exploring the 'PIP or Go' model as an alternative to traditional performance management processes, offering underperforming employees a choice between entering a formal performance improvement plan or accepting an exit package.
