Doctors

High quality healthcare depends on the commitment, skills and team working of clinicians and the wide range of support services within the NHS. Education and training are central to this. 

Medical education is changing rapidly with the introduction of the government's Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) initiative. How MMC affects you.|
