Introduction:
As a retired medical research scientist with nearly 30 years of experience working in close collaboration with consultant clinicians and teaching clinical training fellows, I wish to provide feedback on the Medical Council’s draft statements. While my career was spent overseas at the intersection of research and clinical practice (Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Queen’s Medical Centre, Queen’s Medical Research Institute) after graduating from Otago (Chemistry), I have observed first-hand the dedication of medics to patient-centred care based on medical need and evidence.
