    Medical Practice in Transition: the Case of Serbian Maternity Care Services and Their Users

    Biljana Stanković University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philosophy Serbia MEDICAL PRACTICE IN TRANSITION: THE CASE OF SERBIAN MATERNITY CARE SERVICES AND THEIR USERS Resources of Danubian Region: the Possibility of Cooperation and Utilization Editors Luka Č. Popović Melita Vidaković Djordje S. Kostić Belgrade Humboldt-Club Serbien 2013 ISBN 978-86-916771-1-4 BILJANA ST A N K O V I ć 306 MEDICAL PRACTICE IN TRAN S ITION : THE CA S E OF S ER B IAN M ATERNITY CARE S ERVICE S AND THEIR U S ER S Abstract. Drawing on the evidence from everyday medical practice and experiences of women, users of Serbian maternity care services, this paper will tend to point to some of the important conflicts and inconsistencies that are being reproduced in Serbian health care system that is going through transition. Analysis will mainly focus on the gap between the creation of new policies and clinical guidelines and their actual implementation in practice, as well as on the unsynchronized transformation of different actors involved in medical practice that leads to tensions between sources of knowledge/models of practice in medical care. Key words: healthcare system, health policy, clinical guidelines, medical practice, process of transition Introduction: complex and incoherent character of medical practice When we think or talk about medicine, we usually have in mind something that has been written in medical books or scholarly journals. There we find a broad range of medical knowledge – from reports about research results in different areas of biomedical science, to guidelines for best medical practice and information about new developments in medical technology.

    Medical Training Initiative Guide

    Medical Training Initiative Guide December 2013 Introduction The Medical Training Initiative (MTI) is designed to enable a small number of International Medical and Dental Graduates to enter the UK to experience training and development in the NHS for up to two years – before returning to their home country. Under the scheme, training capacity not required for planned UK/EEA training numbers is made available for overseas doctors and dentists who meet the required eligibility criteria, including obtaining registration with the General Medical Council – for doctors in the MTI scheme this is nearly always obtained via a professional sponsorship scheme with the relevant medical Royal College. The placements filled by doctors in the MTI scheme are approved by the local Deanery/Local Education & Training Board (LETB) and may also need to be approved by the relevant Royal College. The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (the Academy) acts as the UK Visa Sponsor to enable participants to apply for a Tier 5 Government Authorised Exchange Scheme visa with the UK Borders Agency – this is an integral part of the MTI scheme. 2 Who is involved in the initiative? Management of the MTI is a joint approach between GMC Approved Sponsors, Postgraduate Deaneries / LETBs, NHS Trusts and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, with support from the Department of Health. The National Advice Centre for Postgraduate Dental Education manages all dental posts. Each organisation has its own role to play within the scheme – as set out below.

    Specialty Specific Guidance

    Specialty specific guidance on documents to be supplied in evidence for an application for entry onto the Specialist Register with a Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration (CESR) Emergency Medicine This guidance is to help doctors who are applying for entry onto the Specialist Register with a CESR in Emergency Medicine. You will also need to read the Emergency Medicine Curriculum documentation Can I get advice before I submit my application? You can contact us and ask to speak to the Specialist Applications team for advice before you apply. You are strongly advised to contact the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) for guidance before you submit an application or a review. Applicants may also be able to access advice/support from the Forum for Associate Specialists and Staff Grades (FASSGEM). What is the indicative period of training for a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in Emergency Medicine? The indicative period of training for a CCT in Emergency Medicine is six years and it is very unlikely that an applicant would achieve the competences required for a CCT in a shorter period of time. The evidence you collect for your CESR application should reflect this period of training. The structure of the programme is an indicative two years in the Acute Care Common Stem (covering the areas of EM, Anaesthetics, Intensive Care Medicine and Acute Medicine usually with an indicative one year in Anaesthetics /Intensive Care Medicine and six months in each of EM and Acute Medicine) followed by an indicative four years of training in EM (covering the areas of Paediatric EM (approximately 25%), EM and EM ultrasound).
