Mashup Score: 2The GMC’s future vision for medical training must be challenged - 29 day(s) ago
On 12 March the General Medical Council (GMC) published Our Vision for the Future of Medical Education and Training .1 This was accompanied by an explanatory blog from Colin Melville,2 the GMC’s medical director and director of education and standards, in which he queried whether the current system of undergraduate and postgraduate medical training was “fit for purpose” and suggested that “medical education needs transformation.” An enthusiastic and uncritical endorsement was published the next day by the three Royal Colleges of Physicians of London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow.3 Readers might wonder why this “vision” is even worthy of comment. But, as with so many policy documents that pass by the attention of jobbing clinicians busy with patient care, both the policy statement and the accompanying blog bear further scrutiny. The GMC outlines changes in three key areas of undergraduate and postgraduate training: Superficially, this all seems completely reasonable. The teaching of doctors h

Mashup Score: 55
We were greatly disappointed when, in February, NHS England announced that preference informed allocation (PIA) will be used to allocate Specialised Foundation Programme (SFP) posts in England henceforth, starting in 2024.1 The responsible bodies in the devolved nations have indicated that they will follow suit. This decision has been taken despite numerous attempts over the past year to engage with NHS England and the UK Foundation Programme Office to discuss alternative approaches. Warnings from across academia, including from medical students, doctors in training, clinical academics in training, the Integrated Academic Training Advisory Committee, the British Medical Association, Specialised Foundation School leads, senior clinical academics, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the Academy of Medical Sciences, and the Clinical Academic Training Forum (CATF) that the introduction of PIA for SFPs would be unwelcome have gone unheeded.
