Appointment of Director of Medical Education
Following the recent recruitment process, we have appointed Dr
Patricia Hamilton to the post of Director of Medical Education for
England.
Patricia is the President of the Royal College of Paediatrics
and Child Health, Consultant and Senior Lecturer in Neonatal
Paediatrics at St. George’s Hospital Medical School, London and a
member of the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board
(PMETB). We are discussing start dates with Patricia and we look
forward to welcoming her to the team.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Professor
David Sowden, who has been filling the role on an interim basis for
the last year. David has made an enormous contribution to the Next
Stage Review broadly and to Medical Education specifically. David’s
leadership has also been highly valued by all those he has worked
with over recent months. He and the current MMC and Medical
Education Team in the Workforce Directorate have created extremely
strong foundations for Patricia to build on.
David will be aiding the transition to ensure it is smooth and
more will be announced shortly.
