<p>The content and standard of medical training is the responsibility of the General
Medical Council (GMC), which is an independent statutory body. It has the general
function of promoting high standards of education and co-ordinating all stages of
education to ensure that medical students and newly qualified doctors are equipped
with the knowledge, skills and attitudes essential for professional practice.</p><p>
</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>Health Education England (HEE) will work with
bodies that set curricula such as the GMC and the Royal College of general practitioners
to seek to ensure general practice training meets the needs of patients.</p><p> </p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p> </p><p>In addition, HEE has established an independent Primary Care
Workforce Commission which is chaired by Professor Martin Roland of University of
Cambridge. The Commission will identify models of primary care that will meet the
needs of the future National Health Service including greater emphasis on community,
primary and integrated services. It will focus on patient and population need; emerging
models of care to respond to the population need; and maximising new skill sets and
education and training.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p>
