The Forum of Irish Postgraduate Medical Training Bodies has developed a Strategic Framework for doctors. It is to guide the further development of postgraduate medical education and training in the decade to 2030. The Framework is designed to provide leadership and direction while identifying the key areas for immediate and longer-term action. It is delivered by targeted collaborative initiatives and programs. It will align with identified workforce planning needs and major policy initiatives across the health system in Ireland.

This represents the culmination of over two years of consultation and consensus seeking, involving representatives of the Postgraduate Training Bodies and Training Managers, the National Doctors Training & Planning programme of the HSE (NDTP), The Medical Council, The Department of Health, Sláintecare Programme and others in the Healthcare Provider and Academic sectors. It expresses renewed commitment to work collectively and in partnership with all major stakeholders. This is to assure continued excellence in training in Ireland.
