Original Note:
The screenshot is outdated (2017) https://x.com/thebma/status/839779645235081216?s=46&t=zXZy-l8BlkCKcE3OCdAS_w In 2023, the BMA discouraged both “junior” and “trainee” descriptors. They encourage to simply use “doctors”, with a survey showing “postgraduate doctors” is preferred, and “doctors in training” or “junior doctors” are rejected. https://www.bma.org.uk/news-and-opinion/call-to-revise-term-junior-doctor https://bjgpopen.org/content/7/4/BJGPO.2023.0178
