Our regulating body (the General Medical Council) visited today. They’re studying our course this year to make sure we’re up to scratch and to recommend improvements. Needless to say, we’ve been building up to today for some time, but in the end didn’t really put much on for show, as Thursdays are good clinical teaching days anyway. Reports from those involved have been very positive so far but we need to wait until later in the year for the full, official report. It’ll be published online so I’ll post a link.
I think we’ve done a lot in the last three years, and I’d hope that the students of the last two years have taken a lot from it. I’ve been hearing good reports from clinicians that they’ve been getting involved with on clinical rotations. I hope we’ve given them a good base for their last two years of training and for their careers. A good report from the GMC would be very welcome, and very rewarding. It’s always nice to be told that you’re doing a good job once in a while.
