Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to improve GP education on the topics of diagnosis, management, and treatment of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria.
Each medical school in the England sets its own undergraduate curriculum which must meet the standards set by the General Medical Council (GMC) in its Outcomes for Graduates. The GMC would expect that, in fulfilling these standards, newly qualified doctors are able to identify, treat and manage any care needs a person has, including chronic spontaneous urticaria and similar conditions. The training curricula for postgraduate trainee doctors is set by the relevant Royal College and must also meet the standards set by the GMC.
