Katie Petty-Saphon MBE has been Chief Executive of the Medical Schools Council since 2003. She also oversees the associated membership organisations: the Dental Schools Council, the Veterinary Schools Council, [1] the Pharmacy Schools Council, [2] the University Hospital Association and the Association of Dental Hospitals.
She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for her services to medicine in 2011 [3] and has been a fellow of the Academy of Medical Educators since 2015.
Born on Merseyside she attended Wallasey High School and then Newnham College, Cambridge. After International Voluntary Service in Cameroon she worked and studied at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia publishing 10 papers [4] [5] with Professor P L Dutton, FRS. She joined Professor Baz Jackson's lab [6] in Birmingham in 1976. Her PhD from the University of Birmingham was entitled Proton Translocation and ATP Synthesis in Photosynthetic Bacteria.
After a career in the private sector as Further Education Publisher for Africa for the Longman Group and co-founder of EPA Press and Spine-issimus Ltd, in 2003 she was appointed Director of what was the Council of Heads of Medical Schools and is now the Medical Schools Council. She was instrumental in achieving agreement between the majority of medical schools to set up the UK Clinical Aptitude Test in 2005. [7] In 2007 she was the Chief Operating Officer for the Independent Inquiry into Modernising Careers [8] led by Sir John Tooke. In 2009 she oversaw the creation of the Medical Schools Council's Assessment Alliance and in 2013 MSC Assessment which developed the Prescribing Safety Assessment [9] with the British Pharmacological Society and develops and delivers the Situational Judgement Tests for Health Education England. [10] In 2013-14 MSC led Selecting for Excellence [11] – a project tasked with improving the evidence base around selection decisions and increasing the number of successful applicants to medical school from widening participation backgrounds. This was particularity important as applicant data analysis had shown that students from wealthier backgrounds were more likely to be accepted into medical school, an issue Katie argues must be addressed to ensure "we have the right opportunities for all those pupils who have the right aptitude to be excellent professionals.” [12] In 2016, alongside the Chief Executive of NHS Employers, she discussed the impact of the UK's decision to leave the European Union on British health and social care. [13]
She was a Governor of Hatfield Polytechnic when it became the University of Hatfield and for 10 years a non-Executive Director of Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow. She is a Trustee of UKCAT and of the Schwab Westheimer Trust and the Company Secretary for the charities the Medical Schools Council and MSC Assessment. She was President of the Associates of Newnham College Cambridge from 2011–2014. [14]
Oxidative phosphorylation or electron transport-linked phosphorylation or terminal oxidation is the metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidize nutrients, thereby releasing chemical energy in order to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In eukaryotes, this takes place inside mitochondria. Almost all aerobic organisms carry out oxidative phosphorylation. This pathway is so pervasive because it releases more energy than alternative fermentation processes such as anaerobic glycolysis.
The University of Glasgow is a public research university in Glasgow, Scotland. Founded by papal bull in 1451 [O.S. 1450], it is the fourth-oldest university in the English-speaking world and one of Scotland's four ancient universities. Along with the universities of St Andrews, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh, the university was part of the Scottish Enlightenment during the 18th century. Glasgow is the largest university in Scotland by total enrolment and with over 19,500 postgraduates the second-largest in the United Kingdom by postgraduate enrolment.
The coenzyme Q : cytochrome c – oxidoreductase, sometimes called the cytochrome bc1 complex, and at other times complex III, is the third complex in the electron transport chain, playing a critical role in biochemical generation of ATP. Complex III is a multisubunit transmembrane protein encoded by both the mitochondrial and the nuclear genomes. Complex III is present in the mitochondria of all animals and all aerobic eukaryotes and the inner membranes of most eubacteria. Mutations in Complex III cause exercise intolerance as well as multisystem disorders. The bc1 complex contains 11 subunits, 3 respiratory subunits, 2 core proteins and 6 low-molecular weight proteins.
The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) serves as a hub for interdisciplinary research, combining social and computer science to explore information, communication, and technology. It is an integral part of the University of Oxford's Social Sciences Division in England.
Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) is a programme for postgraduate medical training introduced in the United Kingdom in 2005. The programme replaced the traditional grades of medical career before the level of Consultant. The different stages of the programme contribute towards a "Certificate of Completion of Training" (CCT). It has been dogged by criticism within and outside the medical profession, and an independent review of MMC led by Professor Sir John Tooke criticised many aspects of it.
The General Medical Council (GMC) is a public body that maintains the official register of medical practitioners within the United Kingdom. Its chief responsibility is to "protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public" by controlling entry to the register, and suspending or removing members when necessary. It also sets the standards for medical schools in the UK. Membership of the register confers substantial privileges under Part VI of the Medical Act 1983. It is a criminal offence to make a false claim of membership. The GMC is supported by fees paid by its members, and it became a registered charity in 2001.
Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry (PCMD) was a Medical and Dental school in England, run in partnership with the University of Exeter, the University of Plymouth and the NHS in Devon and Cornwall. In January 2013 the school began disaggregation to form Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry and the University of Exeter Medical School.
Photosynthetic reaction centre proteins are main protein components of photosynthetic reaction centres (RCs) of bacteria and plants. They are transmembrane proteins embedded in the chloroplast thylakoid or bacterial cell membrane.
The University of California, Riverside (UCR), School of Medicine is the graduate medical school of the University of California, Riverside, acting as one of six University of California medical schools. It enrolled its first class in 2013, with the first class of 40 medical students receiving their degrees on June 9, 2017.
Joyce Maire Reynolds was a British classicist and academic, specialising in Roman historical epigraphy. She was an honorary fellow of Newnham College, Cambridge. She dedicated her life to the study and teaching of Classics and was first woman to be awarded the Kenyon medal by the British Academy. Among Reynolds' most significant publications were texts from the city of Aphrodisias, including letters between Aphrodisian and Roman authorities.
