The Conference of Postgraduate Medical Deans (COPMeD) provides a forum for postgraduate deans of the National Health Service of the United Kingdom to discuss current issues, share best practice and agree a consistent and equitable approach to medical training in all deaneries.
It also acts as a focal point for contact between the postgraduate medical deans and other organisations, for example:
- Medical royal colleges
- General Medical Council
- British Medical Association
- Academy of Medical Royal Colleges
- Council of Heads of Medical Schools
- Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board
- Health departments for postgraduate medical and dental education matters
Famous quotes containing the words conference, medical and/or deans:
“Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In literary circles, the men of trust and consideration, bookmakers, editors, university deans and professors, bishops, too, were by no means men of the largest literary talent, but usually of a low and ordinary intellectuality, with a sort of mercantile activity and working talent. Indifferent hacks and mediocrities tower, by pushing their forces to a lucrative point, or by working power, over multitudes of superior men, in Old as in New England.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
