Dear Colleagues,

As part of Phase 2 of the Medical Education and Training Review (METR), we are pleased to invite you to a series of Town Halls. The METR programme is exploring a wide range of reform areas, including career progression, flexibility, curricula, rotations, educators and training facilities, clinical academic medicine, training delivery and procedure-heavy specialties.

These sessions are an opportunity to hear about progress across the programme workstreams, discuss emerging reform proposals, and provide views that will help shape future recommendations. Feedback gathered through the town halls will be fed back into the relevant working groups to inform the ongoing development of proposals.

The town halls are designed to complement the work of the METR working groups and provide a broader forum for engagement with resident doctors, LEDs, SAS doctors, educators, employers, service providers, professional bodies, patients and other stakeholders.

We would be grateful if you could join the session(s) that are of most interest to you:
