ScotCOM Survey
Created: 07/10/2024
News/Events Category: Consultations
This item will show under the following categories: Health and Social Care
Earlier this year NHS FIfe and the University of St Andrews announced the development of a new medical degree programme which would allow students to complete their clinical training and primary medical qualification here in Fife. This followed the Scottish Parliament removing a historic prohibition that had prevented the University of St Andrews from awarding its own medical qualifications.
The new Scottish Community Orientated Medicine programme, or ScotCOM as it is better known, is intended to provide a unique approach to medical education and prepare doctors-in-training for the challenges associated with providing modern healthcare.
The five-year programme will see medical students train to provide specialist care in a range of settings, with a focus on community-based clinical teaching to help provide students with a comprehensive understanding of primary care services, whilst ensuring exposure and understanding of hospital-based care.
Ahead of the start of the ScotCOM course next year, people in Fife are being asked to help shape the new course. A survey has been developed and the aim is to capture the priorities of local people when they receive care and treatment, and the attributes they value most in the medical staff they see.
How to complete the survey
The survey is available to complete online at: Scottish Community Orientated Medicine (ScotCOM) Programme | Fife HSCP (fifehealthandsocialcare.org) Paper copies can also be obtained by e-mail at: [email protected]
The feedback received will then be used to shape the course materials, ensuring the next generation of doctors have the opportunity to learn from the same communities that they will train and likely work in.
The survey closes on Friday 22 November 2024.
