  • NHS Fife and University of St Andrews new medical degree feedback report

    Created: 10/03/2025
    News/Events Category: Health and Social Care


    In March 2024 NHS Fife and the University of St Andrews announced the development of a new medical degree programme. The programme gave the people and communities of Fife the opportunity to be involved and use their input to help to shape the knowledge, skills, and training of the medical workforce of the future. 

    They ran a participation and engagement survey, receiving 187 responses from across Fife. 

    Respondents were asked:

    • To share their thoughts and experiences on seeing a doctor
    • About the key behaviours or actions that demonstrate key attributes in a doctor 
    • If there were any other attributes considered important in a doctor 
    • How current experiences matched the attributes they identified as valuable

    NHS Fife and the University of St Andrews Project Team will now use this feedback to support areas of the curriculum for the new medical degree that will focus on the needs of the Fife population.

    The data gathered in this report will also be shared amongst staff who facilitate teaching sessions with students and staff within NHS Fife to practice the communication skills and attributes that Fife people have highlighted as important to them.
