We also publish guidance on issues such as reporting gunshot and knife wounds,raising and acting on concerns about patient safety, and obtaining consent to treatment from children. You can read all our standards and ethics guidance for doctors on the publications page for doctors.
Tomorrow’s Doctors
We set the knowledge, skills and behaviours that medical students should learn at UK medical schools. We also set standards for teaching, learning and assessment. These requirements are set out in Tomorrow's Doctors. The 2009 edition applies from the academic year 2011–12.
