Progress
In a webpage advertising a UMAP workshop to members of staff at University of Leeds it is quoted that
"18 high stakes examinations took place across partner medical schools in 2005/06 using items from UMAP."
The UMAP bank is reported to have amassed over 4000 written assessment items since 2003.
UMAP makes regular announcements about forthcoming item writing workshops which are open to members of staff with an affiliation to UK medical education and take place across the 15 partner school sites.
UMAP is referred to in a report published by the GMC Education Committee exploring strategic options to improve assessment provision in UK undergraduate medical education.

“The real grounds of difference upon important political questions no longer correspond with party lines.... Politics is no longer the topic of this country. Its important questions are settled... Great minds hereafter are to be employed on other matters.... Government no longer has its ancient importance.... The people’s progress, progress of every sort, no longer depends on government. But enough of politics. Henceforth I am out more than ever.”
