The state of medical education and practice in the UK.
GMC's SoMEP 2017 report raises four concerns.
- The supply of new doctors into the UK medical workforce has not kept pace with changes in demand
- Our dependence on non-UK qualified doctors has increased in some specialties
- The UK is at risk of becoming a less attractive place for overseas doctors to work – both to those already in the UK and those outside it
- The strain on doctors training and being trained continues
For those involved in educational interventions for doctors it is that last one - considering the strain of doctors in training - that is within our scope when making choices about the design of learning. Think about:
- how the intervention fits in with the other pressures of time and clinical commitments
- how feedback and assessment is given ... make it supportive and constructive
- how to personalise and adapt to the particular circumstances of the learner
What lessons can be learnt from other countries facing similar challenges?
