Women doctors: making a difference - report of the Chair of the National Working Group on Women in Medicine (13th October 2009)
In a chapter of his 2006 Annual Report, the Chief Medical Officer considered the implications of the recent increase in the number of women entering medical school, a figure that has risen from 492 in 1960/61 to 4,583 in 2008/09. Among other effects, this has created demand for improved flexibility of working hours, meant changes to career expectations and led to new challenges for workforce planning.
In August 2008, the Chief Medical Officer asked Baroness Ruth Deech to chair a National Working Group on Women in Medicine to consider the opportunities available to women working in the medical profession.
Their report considers the current situation, reviews existing work and recommends a programme of action to improve opportunities for women in medicine.
