Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what tuition is given to undergraduate medical students in England and Wales on the subject of allergies and associated conditions.

The Department does not hold this information.

It is the responsibility of the General Medical Council (GMC) to set the standards and outcomes for education and training and approve training curricula to ensure newly qualified healthcare professionals are equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to provide high quality patient care.

Higher education institutions are responsible for ensuring the programmes they provide allow medical students to meet the outcomes set out by the GMC upon graduation.
