The changing health care environment focuses increasingly on prevention and on patient choice. Tomorrow's doctors must be caring and compassionate with a strong ethical code, as well as possessing a deep understanding of the scientific basis of health and disease. Above all, they will need to be confident and competent in the clinical and communication skills the role demands and be “patient-centred” in their approach.
Concerns about the Postgraduate Medical Training structures in the UK will have understandably caused anxieties in those contemplating a career in medicine. It was my privilege to lead the Independent Inquiry into Postgraduate Medical Training that reported in January 2008 to the Secretary of State for Health. The Report, ‘Aspiring to Excellence’, echoes the philosophy of the Peninsula Medical School and will inform the School’s undergraduate programme so our graduates are best equipped to succeed in their chosen postgraduate career whether that be in clinical service in the hospital or community setting like most graduates, or in research, drug development, health policy to name but a few possibilities. One facet of that preparation is the international dimension. Health is a global issue, what with air travel, immigration, health tourism and the burgeoning health problems of the developing world. Whilst focusing on the needs of the NHS the School has a robust international strategy to broaden our students’ horizons.
