Double vision: a roadmap to double medical school places

This report develops a detailed and costed roadmap to enable 15,000 medical students a year to enrol on courses in England by 2029. It identifies seven pathways to enable this, with recommendations including the opening of 12-15 new medical schools over the coming decade; expanding and diversifying the talent pool, including an expansion of graduate-entry places; expanding the role of innovation including the use of simulation-based learning and ' virtual placements ' ; and to improve alignment between placement providers, medical schools and the wider health system through the development of Placement Planning Boards.
