Collins report • Insufficient emphasis on the total patient, long-term conditions and ambulatory or community care (3.3.1) • Government’s intention for more care to be provided closer to home • Few opportunities for multi-professional learning (2009 PMETB Survey)
Collins Report • Lack of emphasis in curriculum on assessment of key issues in modern health care • changing demographics • long-term care • multi-professional team working • community care • Need greater emphasis on • Management of long-term illness • Delivery of care closer to home
Collins Recommendation (15) • Revise FP Curriculum: greater emphasis on • Total patient • Long-term conditions • Increasing role of community care • Team-working in multi-professional environment
Collins Recommendations (16) • Successful completion of FP should normally require completion of a rotation in a community placement e.g. • community paediatrics • general practice • psychiatry
Current situation • General practice • Target for 55% of FY2 to have placement • NTFSs at or slightly below target • Psychiatry • New target for 7% F1s/ 7% F2s to have experience • NTFSs well below target for F1s; below for F2s • Other current opportunities • Public health, palliative care,
