The careers of women doctors who qualified from St Mary's Hospital Medical School between 1961 and 1972 inclusive have been studied. Thirty-eight per cent were in full-time work, 47% were working part-time, and 15% were not practising medicine at the time of the survey. Those working full-time were predominantly single women and married women with no children. With the birth of children most women stopped working for a time, and 38% of those whose children were all under school age were not working. However, 90% returned to medicine, usually to part-time jobs that were compatible with family responsibilities. Eighty-six per cent of the respondents held one or more postgraduate qualifications. More of those with higher qualifications were in full-time work than was the case for women with a basic medical degree only, and fewer were not practising medicine. An equal proportion of single and married women intended to make their career in general practice. Fewer married women than single women chose a hospital career, because the possibilities of part-time work in this field were seen as limited.
对1961年至1972年（含）期间从圣玛丽医院医学院毕业的女医生的职业发展情况进行了研究。38%的人从事全职工作，47%的人从事兼职工作，15%的人在调查时未从事医疗工作。从事全职工作的主要是单身女性和没有孩子的已婚女性。随着孩子的出生，大多数女性会暂停工作一段时间，孩子均未达到上学年龄的女性中有38%没有工作。然而，90%的人会重返医疗行业，通常是从事与家庭责任相兼顾的兼职工作。86%的受访者拥有一个或多个研究生学历。拥有更高学历的人中从事全职工作的比例高于仅拥有基础医学学位的女性，不从事医疗工作的比例则更低。打算从事全科医疗工作的单身女性和已婚女性比例相当。选择医院职业的已婚女性比单身女性少，因为她们认为在该领域从事兼职工作的机会有限。
