Reasons for offering this Master Class:

The Shape of Training Review published in October 2013 looked at potential reforms to the structure of postgraduate medical education and training across the UK. The report sets out a framework for delivering change and for doing so with minimum disruption to service. It offers an approach which will ensure doctors are trained to the highest standards and prepared to meet changing patient needs. It also offers a structure of postgraduate medical education and training that will be fit for purpose for many years to come. Key themes that it covers are: whether the future medical workforce needs specialists or generalists, needs of patients and the health service, and how to achieve more flexible models od training doctors in the future.
