Tomorrow’s Doctors 2009
![Page 6: Changes in United Kingdom Medical Education2009/11/13 · General Medical Council 1856 • Tomorrowʼs doctors was published in 1993 ‒Communication skills ‒Reduction in factual](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050200/5f53df8a6a638b498774f982/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Dr Jan Illing’s research findings• Graduates looked forward to ‘being a doctor’.• While communication is a strong area at graduation,
F1s were under-prepared for some complex communication tasks.
• Other clinical skills are well practised, but not in contexts which sufficiently mimic the clinical environment.
• Knowledge of non-clinical areas such as legal and ethical issues, and the operation of the NHS, was lacking at the start of F1.
• Prescribing was a significant area of underpreparedness.
![Page 7: Changes in United Kingdom Medical Education2009/11/13 · General Medical Council 1856 • Tomorrowʼs doctors was published in 1993 ‒Communication skills ‒Reduction in factual](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050200/5f53df8a6a638b498774f982/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Dr Jan Illing’s recommendations• Undergraduates’ preparedness will be improved by
more experiential learning in clinical practice:• Ensure that placements have more structure and
consistency• Ensure that students are given a greater role in
medical teams.• Establish fuller and more prescriptive guidelines
on shadowing.• Specify the limits of the F1 role.• Address particular weaknesses in prescribing.
