Remedy UK

EDM number 818 in 2007-08, proposed by Norman Lamb on 30/01/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Health staff and professions, Medicine and Training.

That this House regrets the rushed introduction of Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) in 2007 without adequate piloting; is concerned at the events surrounding last year's recruitment to medical training; urges the Government to recognise the pressing need for significant additional training opportunities for experienced junior doctors to ensure they are not artificially disbarred from career progression by the introduction of MMC and that patients can continue to benefit from a motivated medical workforce whose members have been treated fairly; notes that each junior doctor has cost the tax payer £250,000 to train; and commends the ongoing work of Remedy UK in providing a voice for the concerns and aspirations of grassroots doctors.

This motion has been signed by a total of 117 MPs.
