About The Forum

What is The Forum of Irish Postgraduate Medical Training Bodies

The Forum of Irish Postgraduate Medical Training Bodies (Forum) was established in December 2006 with the aim of supporting the postgraduate training bodies in maintaining the highest standards in Medical Education and Training in Ireland. The postgraduate training bodies, through the Forum, provide a key leadership role in the promotion of a common strategic policy with a shared vision and common goals for excellence in postgraduate medical education and training.

The focus of the Forum is on the training of doctors in high quality postgraduate medical programmes to meet service needs of the health service and specifically to:

  • Adapt and strengthen medical training to meet society’s health needs.
  • Support doctors throughout their education and entire professional career.
  • Advance specialty medical education and life-long learning.
  • Build the capacity, effectiveness and accountability of the postgraduate medical education and training programmes.
