Representing medical academic staff


Doctors working in academic medicine perform vital functions for the NHS and healthcare in general. Their roles include a combination of teaching (medical and other healthcare students), research, and specialist clinical care. Medical academic staff contribute at a local, national and international level and are leaders in health improvement.

Within the BMA, doctors employed by a university or research organisation are represented by the Medical Academic Staff Committee (MASC). The MASC works with employers and others to ensure that there are sufficient incentives to attract and retain doctors in the discipline.
