Factors important in determining trainee anaesthetists' quality of life.

A postal survey of all trainee anaesthetists in the North West Region of England was conducted to investigate areas important in determining the trainee's quality of life. The questionnaire enquired about life on-call, hospital facilities available to doctors and trainees' morale. The results suggest that changes are urgently required to improve trainees' lifestyles and therefore help raise morale within the profession.
