The Medical Schools Council has responded to the consultation Developing the Healthcare Workforce.

Medical Schools acknowledge their responsibility to develop the clinical leaders for the future. The current leaders welcome this opportunity to transform a good system of medical education into a truly excellent one in which effective academic alliances with service providers will offer consistently high quality centres of excellence. Doctors make significant contributions to the UK’s economy, and their education must prepare them for multi-faceted approaches to a wide range of career pathways. It is essential that HEIs be given a strong, and equal voice in the developing partnerships.
