  • Medical Education
  • Bioethics
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • A 2015 Consensus Statement aimed to guide undergraduate medical ethics and law curricula in the UK.
  • The impact of this statement on medical school curricula required evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the implementation of the 2015 Consensus Statement recommendations in UK medical schools.
  • To evaluate changes in undergraduate ethics and law curriculum design, teaching, assessment, and staffing.

Main Methods:

  • A postal questionnaire survey was distributed to 28 UK medical schools.
  • The survey targeted the lead individual for teaching and learning at each institution.
  • Inquiries focused on curriculum content, delivery, assessment, and faculty resources for ethics and law.

Main Results:

  • The Consensus Statement demonstrably influenced medical ethics and law teaching and assessment.
  • While most schools covered the 12 recommended topics, few felt they were taught thoroughly.

Conclusions:

  • The Consensus Statement has positively influenced undergraduate medical ethics education.
  • Full implementation of all recommendations remains incomplete seven years post-publication.
