The medical profession has reached a consensus on the role of the doctor which responds to the need to provide clarity on the doctor’s role in order to inform medical education, training and workforce planning. Health demands and expectations are increasing, which has made it even more important to define the contribution of doctors in the healthcare team. The consensus statement provides a unified view and is supported by the four Chief Medical Officers.
