Medical Oncology Census

• RCP Census traditionally has a poor response rate from medical oncology.

• Our data was good for trainees – dreadful for consultants and non-career grades.

• RCR Annual Census has been much more complete –Workforce planning has been held back compared to Clinical Oncology.

• Vital to maintain up to date information.

• ACP / JSC census to compliment trainees census

• Last year Additional ACP census

• This year we have added specialty-specific information to RCP census

• Email mwucensus@rcplondon.ac.uk if you have not received

Growth of the specialty

State of the Specialty

• Current workforce - comments

• Constitution

• Exec Membership

• Joint Specialty Committee

– Shape of Training

• JCCO

• CRG and Chemotherapy Board

Constitution

• Reviewed 2013

• Previous reviews in 1997 & 2001

• Language and organisational mechanisms archaic.

• Based on a smaller organisation with limited numbers of members

• From a time and environment of professional / academic leadership with fewer political and financial pressures.

• No defined roles for Officers / Executive members. Lack of clarity on who has what responsibilities and leads to a small number of members doing everything

• No local/regional representative function

• Left ACP behind other specialist societies in terms of organisation, political influence and ability to engage with outside bodies.

REGIONS WITH VACANCIES IN BOLD

New Executive Committee

Membership Road Map

• Approved AGM 2013

• Approved Charity Commissioners 2014

• Implementation 2014 / 2015

• Will start with a clean slate so that existing Exec members can apply for new posts for continuity.

• Officers to remain in place in short / medium term

• Complete election for constitutional reps

• Identify additional roles to be filled

• Invitation for nominations to those posts and elect.

• Review of terms of current officers.

• Complete before next AGM

• New elections as required.

JSC

• Each specialty within RCP has a JSC with representation from RCP and specialist society

• officers and members/fellows from both including trainees

• Wide-ranging remit and discussions including:

• Manpower

• Governance

• Regional Advisors

• JCCO representatives

• Future Hospitals Commission

• Shape of Training Review

• Post CCST Fellowships

• Clinical Excellence Awards

Shape of Training Review http://www.shapeoftraining.co.uk/home.asp

• Medical Education England (MEE), the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC), the General Medical Council (GMC), the Medical Schools Council (MSC), Conference of Postgraduate Medical Deans of the UK (COPMeD), NHS Education Scotland (NES) and representatives from Northern Ireland and Wales

• There is widespread unease about the original proposed structure

• RCP now focussed on view that one size does not fit all (Medicine vs other colleges)

• Likely to propose a 7 year minimum training with a 3rd CMT year in which all would act as junior registrars supporting acute take. 2 6-month posts. - May be opportunities to combine with AOS attachment for aspirant oncology trainees.
