NHS Change Day will take place on 13.03.13. It will be one day during which the collective energy, creativity and ideas of thousands of NHS staff, and those who support the NHS, in all areas of work and right across the country, will demonstrate how one simple action or new idea can make a difference and improve care for patients, their families and their carers. The team behind NHS Change Day are asking people to make pledges of an action or idea. You can see our pledge on the NHS Change Day pledge wall .

MBBS New Curriculum
Timetable For Rollout
Rollout of the new curriculum has already started! It began when the new-look Final Year was implemented for the 2010/11 Year 5 students which included introducing the regular Case-of-the-Month component. This has continued unchanged for 2011/12’s Final Year students. Some technology innovations were also piloted this year, including the video-recording of lectures as a revision aid for students, and the use of personal response systems in lectures and large group work, to improve interaction between participants. These initiatives have been generally well received.
In 2011/12, we are piloting a number of new changes including:
- a new “Foundation Module” introduced to the Year 1 timetable
- a cardio-metabolic disease patient pathway, including extended patient contacts, piloted for Year 2 students
- the use of a computer-based portfolio tool by students in Year 3. The ‘NES’ e-portfolio, which is the tool as used by most Foundation Year doctors, will be familiar to many of those who will participate in the trial.
The full rollout, however, will begin in September 2012: well….not quite a full roll out!
Unless you introduce changes one year at a time, then you are inevitably going to run into problems when students transfer from one curriculum to another part of the way through their time with us. 2012/13 will have a transitional year 5 (what was old year 4) to avoid student duplicating placements and modules or missing some altogether. So we will have full implementation from 2013/14
