Abstract
Medical Education England, the body set up in response to the Tooke report and of which I am a member, has commissioned Professor John Collins, formerly Director of Education at the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and a fellow of this College, to carry out a review of the foundation programme. The change from two six-month house jobs to a two-year programme of usually four-month attachments was the first step in the disastrous Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) initiative, which fell apart in 2007 after the Medical Training Application Service fiasco. We are told that the foundation programme has been a success and indeed it has not attracted the opprobrium and subsequent rejection by the profession that the rest of the MMC initiative did.
