The Medical Royal Colleges are a funny mix of educators and industry bodies. Doctors currently have to pass their exams in order to progress to consultant level and within specialties. They also bang the drum for their disciplines: more emergency medicine doctors, fewer targets in radiology, and so on. In 1948, they were critical to the very existence of the NHS.
They then offered a solution to the ongoing stand-off with the BMA in the final months before the service was due to start. Lord Moran, the president of the Royal College of Physicians, suggested an amendment to the National Health Service Act which would clarify that Bevan couldn’t force doctors to become full-time salaried employees of the state . The BMA agreed.
