Faculty issues press statement regarding MTAS

The Faculty of Occupational Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians of London regrets the distress and career disruption caused to junior doctors by the failure in significant respects of the implementation of MTAS.

We agree with the emergency measures announced by the Department of Health to repair the process asap and look forward to a review of MTAS and of the post graduate training bodies responsible for the process and its implementation.

Doctors in training who need help can approach occupational physician who are members of the Faculty for advice.
