Drivers of Change• The last thirty years have seen rapid social and technological change

completely redefine the context in which healthcare is delivered. Things will move more quickly in future. Advances in medical science have increased life expectancy but also increased the complexity and cost of care. Our population is older, more overweight and medically more complex than ever before and we face significant challenges managing the impact of disruptive innovations in genomics, diagnostics and ICT on patient care.

• Managing all of this whilst improving the quality, affordability and equity of healthcare for patients, will need a new breed of doctors: doctors capable of leading and managing complex change across constantly shifting institutional boundaries. There isn’t much about my training thus far that leaves me feeling ready to meet this challenge.

Evidence Gathering


Medicine

Principles

The overarching objective of the system of medical education and training must be to equip doctors, and instil in them the professionalism needed to deliver safe and high quality care which will meet the future needs of patients and the service.

Any new model of training must be designed to deliver this objective through the minimum structural change necessary.

Education and training should be based upon the demonstration of capabilities, not simply time served.

Any new model of training must reflect the need for doctors to continue their learning and development throughout their working lives.


Medicine

Principles

Any new model of training must incorporate the elements of flexibility which acknowledge the uncertainties of future healthcare and workforce needs and the aspirations of trainees.

The outcomes of training must provide transparency for patients, the public and the service about the levels of capability doctors have attained.

The principles for implementation of any new model should enable the existing workforce to be incorporated into the new system so as to avoid co-existence of parallel systems.
