Modernizing medical careers: an open letter to Royal College Presidents

摘要

I write to persuade you that the Royal Colleges' current policy of cooperating with the government and the postgraduate medical education and training board in implementing post-foundation medical training is not in the best long-term interests of either patients, future consultants, general practitioners or the Royal Colleges; all of whom will rely on a cadre of well-trained GPs and specialists to be the backbone of a service buffeted by incessant reform.
