The provision of out of hospital high quality specialty care given in a truly integrated healthcare system is dependent on clinicians of the future being trained and willing to deliver this. There is currently a miss-match in what the politicians wish around integrated care and what the clinical workforce, both undergraduate and postgraduate, are being currently trained for and aspire to. Greater exposure to community work in medical training and greater emphasis on the importance of integrated care is required from the different medical specialties and royal colleges to raise the profile of consultant working in non-hospital settings. It will only be when training in all aspects of integrated care provision is firmly embedded in the undergraduate and postgraduate medical curriculum that integrated care will flourish.
