PMETB annual conference for stakeholders 2009

On this page you can read about the annual conference PMETB held for its stakeholders in October 2009.

PMETB's third annual stakeholder conference drew a full house. More than 200 people attended the event, held on 1 October 2009 at RIBA in Portland Place, London.

Delegates attended a series of plenary presentations, including an international keynote session from Dr Thomas Nasca on the differences between the US and UK systems of postgraduate medical education regulation and an update on Developing the Wise Doctor from surgeon, educator and author, Mrs Linda DeCossart. Afternoon workshops discussed quality, revalidation and PMETB’s Future Doctors policy work.

The event signified an exceptional time in the work of PMETB, marked by the launch of three important publications on the day. These were the Future Doctors Policy Statement, the National Training Surveys 2008/09 and the State of PMET 2009 (see below for downloads).
