On Thursday 8th September 2016 the North West Annual Postgraduate Medical and Dental Educator Conference took place at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.  The theme of the conference was Professionalism & Excellence in Medical Education.   Resources from the day include the brochure and presentations from the speakers and workshops.  

The Academy of Medical Educators recognises that medical education is distinct from teaching in higher education in general because of the central place that patient care occupies not only in teaching and learning but also in assessment and feedback, and in quality assurance.

They set out to become the Standard setting body for medical educators in the UK. In 2009, they achieved this aim with the publication of the Professional Standards that define the level of competence that medical educators should achieve at each point in their careers.

These standards produced by the General Medical Council (GMC) set out requirements for the management and delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate medical education and training.

These standards come into effect on 1 January 2016 and will supersede the previous standards in Tomorrow’s Doctors and The Trainee Doctor.
