The Future Doctor programme

The Future Doctor sets us a collective challenge to make a fundamental shift in medical education from a system that places disproportionate value on specialism to one that recognises crucial value in a generalist training; that better equips doctors in the management of complex care, co-morbidities, and provides a deep connection and understanding of the communities doctors serve; and instils strong professionalism from the start of medical education and training. The Future Doctor co-created vision is the culmination of significant work and system-wide engagement. It sets a clear direction for the next phase of our reforms. For this vision to be realised, we must now work together to bring fundamental change in how doctors train now and in the future, and establish a supportive culture within the system that values its workforce.
