Advising medical schools: encouraging disabled students
About the advisory guidance
This advisory guidance, from a partnership led by the General Medical Council (GMC), is aimed primarily at medical schools. It will also interest organisations involved in postgraduate medical training and many individuals, including disabled doctors, students and potential students.
It provides practical suggestions to help schools ensure that disabled students do not face unnecessary barriers to successful medical careers.
The advisory guidance results from a partnership led by the GMC and financially supported by 11 medical schools. Matched funding has been provided through Gateways to the Professions, set up by the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (England).
The guidance does not lay down new requirements, quality assurance standards or ‘policies’ from the GMC or any of the other organisations involved.
