NHS England are currently undertaking an engagement and listening exercise to consider the future of postgraduate medical training. This review will look at what resident doctors want from a training programme, alongside how we can provide medical care that is responsive to the needs of our patients. To reflect how medical training is changing, they are keen to hear from locally employed and SAS doctors, as well as resident doctors in training. We also welcome responses from educators and managers. Everyone’s opinion is appreciated.
You can find out more about the review in our short, two minute video below:
The review team want to hear from as many people as possible. Are you a resident doctor who has an opinion on how your training can be improved? A locally employed doctor who has taken a break from training and would like to explain why? Maybe you are an educational supervisor who feels elements of the system could work better? Or a health service manager who understands where changes could be made? Whatever your background, we want to hear from you!
Within the South East we are holding two online listening events in April to gather information from stakeholders. You are welcome to join either event via the links below:
- 7th April at 1800: https://tinyurl.com/5fhc9d82
- 10th April at 1800: https://tinyurl.com/3dsmnk34
If you can’t make these dates, you can still have your say. We have set up an interactive Miro board for you to share your thoughts and see other people’s responses. These boards work best on a desktop computer or by using the free Miro mobile app which can be found here.
We are keen for everyone to use the Miro boards as they allow you to see other people’s ideas and respond to them. However, we do appreciate that the mobile app will not be accessible to everyone. We really want to hear your opinions, so if you cannot use the Miro then there is also a link below to a google form with the same questions.
The boards will close on April 21st, so make sure you have made any contributions before this time.
