  1. Percentages are expressed as percentage of valid responses to each question (ie excluding missing responses).
  2. *Gender was asked in the Commencing Questionnaires, but was not asked specifically in the Exit Questionnaires – results tabulated for Exit Questionnaire responses were derived from responses from the same students for the Commencing Questionnaires, from student names where possible, or from Medical Schools data collections where possible.
