The most prominent of these centred on the poor training and indifferent career prospects experienced by some doctors at Senior House Officer (SHO) level and by many of those in Staff Grade and Associate Specialist (SAS) posts. The Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) programme of work was established in 2003 to address these difficulties. A new Foundation programme was introduced in 2005, the Specialty Training system was reformed and the SHO grade scrapped in 2007. As a result of inadequate preparation during the implementation of the reforms, in 2007 the MMC programme plunged into crisis. The new centralised recruitment system, the Medical Training Application Service (MTAS), proved highly unpopular with both candidates and assessors. The number of applicants was also much higher than expected, creating fierce competition for posts in many areas and making thousands of doctors deeply anxious about their future prospects. Following intense public pressure and major demonstrations by junior doctors, the Department set up the Douglas Review Group to make changes to the recruitment system. Several senior resignations, a legal challenge, two major security failures and a number of emergency statements by the then Secretary of State followed, however, as the crisis deepened. Elements of the MTAS system were subsequently abandoned and, although most training posts were eventually filled, the events of 2007 proved a disaster both for the Department of Health and for the medical profession itself. The Government acknowledged that its new systems were flawed and apologised on several occasions to the thousands of doctors affected. The Secretary of State commissioned a major inquiry, led by Sir John Tooke, to examine the 2007 crisis. The Tooke Inquiry reported in January 2008 and called both for major changes to the structure of training and for the creation of a new body, NHS Medical Education England, to oversee medical education. The Department deferred decisions on whether to implement the Tooke Inquiry’s most significant proposals. Like the Tooke Review, the Committee’s inquiry exposed serious problems with the management of the MMC reforms, and particularly the introduction of MTAS, by the Department of Health and its partners. A divided and inappropriate governance structure, flawed project and risk management and poor communication with junior doctors were the most serious failings. Co-ordination between the Department of Health and the Home Office on restricting medical migration was also woefully inadequate. These practical shortcomings were responsible for some of the direct causes of the 2007 crisis, including the defective application form and other aspects of the short-listing process, the unsafe computer system and the failure to limit the number of applications from overseas doctors. 6 Modernising Medical Careers Our inquiry also uncovered wider problems with policy development and leadership for MMC. The specific changes introduced by MMC often conflicted with the programme’s stated aims, for instance through the universal introduction of run-through training in 2007, which created a more rigid rather than a more flexible training system. The leadership shown by the Department of Health was totally inadequate. Despite being the architect of the reforms, the Chief Medical Officer chose not to take on a clear leadership role and thus did not accept responsibility for the 2007 crisis. The medical profession was often more concerned by factional interests than by the common good. This confusion and incoherence exacerbated the 2007 crisis and prevented MMC from achieving many of its original aims, most notably increasing flexibility and reforming the SAS grades. We make a number of recommendations for change and improvement in response to the shortcomings which undermined MMC. The Department of Health must address its weaknesses in project and risk management. It should strengthen and increase the independence of the MMC Programme Board and work more effectively with the medical profession on future education policy.

  • MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS 2 Hospital Staff the People Who Work
    MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS 2 Hospital Staff The people who work in any type of workplace, including hospitals, are called the staff. The medical staff in a British hospital belong to one of four main groups: • A pre-registration house officer (PRHO), or house officer, is a newly graduated doctor in the first year of postgraduate training. After a year, he or she becomes a registered medical practitioner. In the current system of training, the Foundation Programme, the name for these junior doctors is Foundation Year 1 doctor (FYI). • A senior house officer (SHO) is in the second year of postgraduate training. The title is now Foundation Year 2 doctor (FY2), but the old terms senior house officer and SHO are still used. • A specialist registrar (SpR) is a doctor who has completed the Foundation Programme, and is training in one of the medical specialties. There are also some non-training registrars -- doctors who have completed their training but do not wish to specialize yet. • A consultant is a fully qualified specialist. There may also be some associate specialists – senior doctors who do not wish to become consultants. In addition, there is at least one medical (or clinical) director, who is responsible for all of the medical staff. Medical Teams Consultant physicians and surgeons are responsible for a specific number of patients in the hospital. Each consultant has a team of junior doctors to help care for those patients. In many hospitals, there are multidisciplinary teams which consist not only of doctors but also of physiotherapists and other allied health professionals. When patients enter- or are admitted to –hospital, they are usually seen first by one of the junior doctors on the ward where they will receive treatment and care.

  • Spending Review 2019 Health Workforce Consultant Pay And
    Spending Review 2019 Health Workforce Consultant Pay and Skills Mix, 2012-2017 DEIRDRE COLLINS HEALTH VOTE, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC EXPENDITURE AND REFORM AUGUST 2019 This paper has been prepared by IGEES staff in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The views presented in this paper do not represent the official views of the Department or Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Executive Summary Features of Consultant Grade of employment . In the Irish public health service, a Consultant is a specialist grade of doctor working in the acute hospital or community sectors. The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the total number of WTE Consultants employed by the HSE and the categories of consultant specialty employed. It also aims to provide a definite figure on the Consultants pay bill of in the context of over-all public expenditure, use this to undertake an international comparison and draw policy conclusions in light of the analysis. Key Trends . Almost 3% of the total WTE health service employment are Consultants. In the five years from 2012, the number of Consultants employed by the HSE has grown twice as fast as total HSE employment; 18% compared to 9% growth in overall HSE staff. Percentage growth rate WTE Consultants employed/ Percentage growth rate in total HSE WTEs 2012-2017 20% 18% 15% 10% 9% 5% 0% 0% 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 -5% % Growth rate Consultant WTEs % Growth rate HSE WTE Source: HSE – Health Service Personnel Census . While there has been growth in the overall number of Consultant posts from 2015 to 2017, the Consultant skills mix employed by the HSE has remained relatively consistent.

  • Specialties, Sub-Specialties and Progression Through Training the International Perspective
    Intelligence Unit Research Specialties, sub-specialties and progression through training the international perspective August 2011 Introduction In the UK, it is a legal requirement that a doctor who wishes to practise as a substantive, fixed term or honorary consultant in the NHS must hold specialist registration. Similarly, in order to practise as a GP, a doctor must hold GP registration. A Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) confirms that a doctor has completed an approved training programme and is eligible for entry onto the GP or Specialist Register. Between the end of the first foundation year, when doctors are fully registered with the GMC, and the granting of a CCT, there is no recognised intermediate ‘waypoint’ for doctors. There are approximately 20,000 Staff Grade and Associate Specialist (SAS) doctors not in training who are providing care to patients in specialty areas. The skills, knowledge and experience that these doctors have is not formally recognised by the GMC. Due to the lack of regulatory recognition, no credit is given for prior learning. Furthermore, the movement of doctors between specialties, as well as the ability to stop and, at a later date, re-enter a training programme may not always be suitably efficient or effectively supported. One major strand of this research was, therefore, to find out whether other regulators (or equivalent) recognise clinical training and experience which surpasses compulsory medical education but is not necessarily undertaken in the pursuit and eventual attainment of a specialist qualification. The second strand of this research was to assess the specialty and sub-specialty systems in other countries.

  • Junior Doctor Contract
    JUNIOR DOCTOR CONTRACT Mrs Paula Eyre, Head of Medical HR Dr Guy Veall, Guardian of Safe Working Hours Why change? All parties (BMA, DH, NHS) agreed that the current (New Deal) contract was no longer fit for purpose: – Safety: does not support safe working practices – Training: does not support the educational and training needs of doctors – Pay: has perverse incentives that do not recognise or effectively reward hours being worked or the intensity of work being done. A new contract needed to be introduced that was safe, fair and effective for both doctors and employers. PROUD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE SHEFFIELD TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST Limitations of the New Deal contract 2002 • BMA and DDRB thought basic pay was too low compared with other graduates. • Perverse incentive: breaching EWTD limits resulted in more pay. • Significant variation of individual earnings as a trainee moved between posts and placements. • Did not harmonise education, training, and service needs. • Pay progression was based on time served, instead of performance, competence, or responsibility. PROUD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE SHEFFIELD TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST New Contract Implementation Timeline • October 2016 - Transition to the new terms and conditions of service for: – ST3+ in obstetrics and gynaecology training programmes. • November – December 2016 (106 doctors) - Transition to the new terms and conditions of service for: – F1s (taking up next appointment) – F2 (taking up next appointment and sharing a rota with F1s) • February – April 2017 (34 doctors) - All grades taking up next appointments in: – Psychiatry – Pathology – Paediatrics – Surgical trainees (under JCST) – Any F2 and GP trainees at ST1/2 who share a rota with trainees above in this category.
