Consultant post prospects for Specialist Registrars (SpRs) in all the medical specialties have been analysed using the databases of the Royal College of Physicians and the Joint Committee on Higher Medical Training (JCHMT). A 'bulge' in the numbers of SpRs obtaining Certificates of Completion of Specialist Training (CCSTs) is anticipated over the next 2-3 years, but this effect will be alleviated by the increasing trend to spend extra years in research or flexible training. There are profound differences between the specialties in the ratios of SpRs holding National Training Numbers (NTNs) to consultants, and in the proportions of female SpRs, and these factors will markedly influence consultant post prospects. The outlook within most specialties is favourable, but this is critically dependent on the rate of consultant expansion over the next few years.

Medieval medical practice has all too often been depicted by historians as ineffective, overpriced and riddled with superstition. Yet the physician, who boasted an impressive range of academic accomplishments, exercised considerable influence in political, religious and cultural affairs. How was this achieved? The overwhelming authority of the Church, in an age of high mortality, when life was generally painful as well as short, helps to explain an apparent paradox. For the practitioner, who was often also a priest, dealt with spiritual as well as earthly diseases, plumbing the recesses of men's souls while he examined their bodies. He was a confidant and mentor, offering advice on all aspects of the human condition. Since physical suffering was often regarded as a consequence of sin, confession loomed large in treatment. Indeed, the practice of both medicine and surgery was regulated by canon law, which looked beyond mere physical fitness to the quest for eternal salvation.

The purpose of the NHS complaints procedure is to investigate complaints in a way that is satisfactory to the complainant, while being fair to staff and learning any lesson for service improvement. The current complaints procedure was implemented on 1 April 1996. It covers complaints about primary care practices as well as hospital and community health services, and includes matters arising from clinical judgement. An evaluation of its effectiveness is being undertaken by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, York University (York Health Economics Consortium) and Public Attitude Surveys, and a report is due after the end of 2000. This personal view of the complaints procedure, from the perspective of a trust convener, discusses recent proposals for reform from the House of Commons Health Committee and their relevance to the hospital physician.
