Medical Professionalism Student Road Shows, UK
The pilot events, titled 'Becoming a Doctor - Journey or destination?', are part of the GMC's student engagement strategy. They follow on from previous events by the King's Fund and Royal College of Physicians looking at what the future holds for doctors.
The four road shows, running over January and February 2008, bring together students, staff and leading figures from the medical world to debate the role and importance of professional values amidst changing societal attitudes.
- Can professionalism be taught?
- Do younger doctors have a different understanding of professionalism?
- Should doctors be involved in managing the health service?
- Do you need to be a good person to be a good doctor?
Attendees will discuss these and other questions, and hear the views of high-profile speakers, including GMC President Sir Graeme Catto, King's Fund Chief Executive Niall Dickson and Royal College of Physicians President Professor Ian Gilmore.
