Campaigns
Remedy UK have mounted a number of high profile campaigns against Modernising Medical Careers.
- Early Day Motion - an Early day motion explicitly backing RemedyUK's concerns about MMC and MTAS has been signed by 127 Members of Parliament
- March in March - on the 17th of March 2007 Remedy UK organised the largest public protest by doctors in British History. An estimated 12,000 junior doctors marched from the headquarters of the Royal College of Physicians to the offices of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in London. A parallel protest was organised on the same day in Glasgow.
- Mass Lobby of Parliament - on the 24th of April 2007 Remedy UK organised a mass lobby of the UK parliament in Westminster attended by hundreds of doctors. This aimed to directly pressure individual MPs and to raise awareness of the issues surrounding recent reforms to medical training in the UK.
- Judicial Review - Remedy UK launched a judicial review in May 2007 challenging the legality of MTAS and MMC in court. Justice Goldring did not rule in favour of Remedy UK but in his summary described the reforms as "disastrous" and suggested that individual doctors cases should be open to scrutiny by employment tribunals.

Famous quotes containing the word campaigns:
“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
