Medical Professionalism
The Royal College of Physicians has set up a working party on medical professionalism that aims to define the nature and role of medical professionalism in modern society. The working party, funded by the Newman Foundation, will undertake the following tasks:
- To obtain and consider written and oral evidence on key tenets and behaviours of professionalism, particularly in medicine;
- To obtain and consider written and oral evidence on how professional values in medicine are changing;
- To consider the underlying reasons for these changes;
- To consider ways of defining medical professionalism relevant for the 21st Century
- To consider ways in which it might be developed, strengthened and promoted in the service of patients and the public.
The working party is being chaired by Baroness Julia Cumberledge and consists of doctors and other professionals with a wide range of experience.
Evidence should be submitted to Dr Susan Shepherd, Secretary to the working party at MedicalP@rcplondon.ac.uk, telephone 020 7935 1174 ext. 517
