The King’s Fund breakfast meeting: Medical Education and
Training Review – 22 October 2026
This breakfast engagement session was convened to inform the Medical Education and Training Review (METR) by testing four tensions emerging from its work: individual geographic choice and reducing
health inequalities; flexibility alongside structure and predictability; formal and non-traditional training routes; and specialist depth and broader medical capability. It was attended by over 30 stakeholders representing views from primary care, secondary care, Royal Colleges and national NHS bodies.
