Abstract

[Extract] Ensuring that we produce a health workforce that is well trained, "fit for purpose", equitably distributed, and that delivers effective and safe health care is a key responsibility of all those involved in medical education, health governance and health policy making. Various health scandals have drawn the attention of the public to failures in health governance, and raised considerable doubt about the ability of the health professions (and in particular doctors) to self-regulate in a way that will protect the public.
