We're saying hello from #DEMEC25! Are you at the conference? Check in and say hi! Lots of chat ahead this week across undergrad and postgrad #MedEd

I’ll be giving my last talk for this year on Unheard voices and medical silencing today. And what an occasion! I’ll be giving the closing plenary @DEMEC25! #DEMEC25

Prof Whitty highlights that competition between physician assistants & doctors for training opportunities must be approached as an issue in the next phase of the Training Review #DEMEC25 #meded #medtwitter

"We need to do something about core competition ratios... the ratios have become eye watering" Bottlenecks must be addressed urgently, highlights Prof Whitty #DEMEC25 #MedEd

"We must cannot ensure training is homogenous and we must realise that expansion of training cannot be the same across the country" - Prof Whitty highlighting population needs influencing training at #DEMEC25 #medicaleducation #meded

Finishing the panel discussion today, after some hefty questions, on #ValuingMedEd and the need to support educators to have time to train and deliver training

Prof Chris Whitty is giving the @MedicalEducator Calman lecture He highlights how demographic changes will hugely (& predictably) reshape health needs - and therefore #MedEd The population is increasingly diverging, requiring v different medical provision across UK.

Recruitment into UKFP is a challenge - applicant preferences do not always match the healthcare needs for patients across the UK. The switch to PIA has also led to changes in terms of candidates achieving top preferences #DEMEC25

We're hearing about the 20 years of the UK Foundation Programme... lots of lessons to be learned from the development and implementation of the programme #DEMEC25

The global value of investment in medical education is £300 billion per annum 🤑😮💰 #DEMEC25 #meded #medtwitter

This saves $170billion in medical training costs - but is this sustainable? Is this ethical? Is this right? #DEMEC25 #MedEd #Medtwitter

"High income countries are not investing in medical education, and instead as a policy choice are investing in the global workforce" #DEMEC25 #medtwitter #meded

High income countries are not investing in medical education - the lowest proportion of doctor graduates as % of active workforce. Huge problems around attrition & retention raise alarm bells even more #meded #medtwitter

Just to maintain our workforce, we need 1.8 million more medical doctors to replace those leaving. !!!!!! #MedEd #medtwitter

Many countries are not adequately reporting data on medical undergraduate numbers - data are not public domain, limiting interventions

We are employing more and more people in the health and social care economy - bringing down global shortages, but not quickly enough - Jim Campbell, @WHO #DEMEC25

Looking forward to #DEMEC25 please come visit us at our stand and meet the team and learn more about Medical Education Leaders UK and getting involved.
