Modernising Morning Report: innovation in teaching and learning

Background: Over recent years there has been a shift in undergraduate medical education, from predominantly passive, didactic teaching methods to facilitating learning by focusing on the management of common scenarios, through the means of problem-and case-based learning. Context: Case-based learning and peer-led teaching are often overlooked at postgraduate level, despite the continuing demonstrated success of these methods in fostering independent reasoning and problem-solving skills that are vital for newly qualified doctors to develop. When trying to strike a balance between educational needs and service provision, it is essential to identify and implement efficient, effective approaches to optimise learning opportunities. Innovation: We have adapted the pre-existing framework of the American 'Morning Report' to suit the needs of today's junior doctors, creating a system of providing case-based learning paired with peer-led teaching.
