Hi everyone,

 

I've just completed the survey at http://www.shapeoftraining.co.uk/yoursay/1729.asp

 

I would recommend taking part. The JRCPTB are asking for contributions

 

to their Shape of Training review
 
"This review takes place in a rapidly changing environment. Medical and scientific advances, evolving healthcare and population needs, changes to healthcare systems and professional roles, the push towards more care provided in the community, the information and communications technology (ICT) revolution, and changing patient and public expectations will all affect how doctors will practise in the future. We therefore need to consider what these changes mean for the way doctors are trained.
 
To help us understand how doctors should train and work over the next 30 years we have broken the issues into themes:
 
  • balance of the medical workforce 
  • flexibility of training
  • patient needs
  • the breadth and scope of training
  • tension between the needs of the health services and training needs
We are also looking at how doctors move between the different stages of their careers and whether the training structure can better support these transitions."

For the curriculum consultation people, it may also be interesting for you to see how this consultation is running on line, and with a number of groups being held, although unforunately we've missed most of them now.

 

Best wishes,

Sarah
