Modernising Medical Careers: why? • PRHO competences not consistent • “Lost Tribes” of SHOs: some wasted time • Variable supervision at SHO level • Changing workload – EWTD • Changing disease patterns, new technologies and new drugs • Rising patient expectations • Difficulty in planning careers • Snakes and ladders of career progression
Modernising Medical Careers “ ……..the end product of the training process, whether a hospital doctor or general practitioner, should be a highly qualified, well trained and accredited doctor who can deliver the care and treatment patients need in the modern NHS.”

Learning from 2007 - DH • Criticism included • Big Bang • Rushed consultation • IT development not sufficiently controlled • Wide Consultation BUT; • Didn’t penetrate stakeholder community • Consultees didn’t take responsibility or own the product (nobody blameless: IRH) • DH didn’t hear some messages • Lessons learned from Review Group include • the need to address concerns • the power of stakeholder collective responsibility

“A national online application system has considerable merit and could potentially be more efficient than previous systems…..” BGS Oct 2007
?2008 • No National IT system • National Person Specs. • Local Application Form • Less ‘white space’ and more CV • Local Deanery Appointments (?interference) • Very Tight Timescale • Academic Posts • HSMPs
2008 Recruitment Process • Most specialties will be local recruitment • A few will be national eg GP and Histopath • Separate Academic Recruitment • Mixture of Run-Through and Uncoupled in 2008 • Can apply for as many as want • Recruitment phase one 5th Jan to 16th May • Up to 3 recruitment exercises per year • Most ST1/2 in first exercise • ST3 spread across year depending on NTN availability
?Clinical resource requirements in one deanery for 2008 recruitment • Across all specialties with 2008 recruitment, it is estimated: • 522 Consultants will be needed to shortlist 50 application forms each (assuming double scoring of 13,678 applications) • 528 days of consultant time will be needed for interviews (assuming panels of six consultants interviewing a maximum of 30 applicants per day).
Competition in 2008 • 2007 RT trainees will progress to ST3 • Many ST2/3 will be taken by RT • Therefore competition more severe in 2008 for remainder (numbers not totally known), • ?3:1 , can not give priority to UK trained • 5800 ST1 and 5000 coming out of FP • 2000 ST2 and 1200 FTSTA1s completing • ?900 ST3 posts with 2000 FTSTA2s completing
What about Run-Through? • Trainees Appointed to RT in 2007 • ST1 --> ST2 • How do we move from ST2 -->3 ?
Most Popular Medical Specialties and would move location • Cardiology 16% • Respiratory 10% • Gastro 10%
Leave London rather than accept : • Allergy • Audiology • Chem Path • Oncology • Genetics • GUM • Immunology • Nuclear Med • Paediatric Cardiology • Rehab. Med • Occup. Med • GERIATRIC MEDICINE
How do we move from ST2 -->3 ? • Which specialties? • Open or Closed appointment ? • Local or National appointments ?
Proposal for ST2-->3 for Medicine • Majority placed locally by closed appointment • 10-20% of posts put forward for ‘Headroom’ • ‘Headroom’ posts appointed in Open Competition • Local? • National?
TOOKE!! • Split Foundation • 3 year core training programmes • Uncouple Run-Through** • PMETB:GMC • Universities control postgraduate training • Set up Postgraduate Schools** • Profession to have more say**
