Our health services are evolving, driven by innovation, changing patient needs, a more diverse workforce, and new ways of working. These shifts bring opportunities to think about how we educate and support the next generation of medical students, doctors, physician associates (PAs), and anaesthesia associates (AAs).
We’re reviewing the standards, outcomes, and guidance for how education and training is designed and delivered in the UK.
Our goal is to make sure current and future registrants have the skills and support they need to meet the evolving needs of patients, creating a system that fosters flexible, fair and innovative learning for all.
We recently ran a dedicated survey for SAS and LE doctors which closed on Tuesday 2 June. Thanks to everyone who took part and took the time to tell us about your experiences, and your views on your roles, responsibilities and opportunities for professional development. Your responses will directly influence our Future of education and career development programme.
