Abstract
The workforce of the medical specialty of Rehabilitation Medicine (RM) in the UK is 10 times less than the European average for the specialty of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM). This can be explained partly by the difference in the scope of practice within the specialty between UK and other European countries. This opinion paper aims to compare the rehabilitation needs in chronic conditions and compare the scope of practice between countries within Europe and other regions of the world. The potential advantages of a broader remit specialty to improve rehabilitation care for patients across a wide range of conditions in explored. Recommendations have been put forward in the Rehabilitation Medicine Expansion Proposal (RMEP), which is likely to make the medical specialty more satisfying for the doctors working in the specialty and a more attractive career choice for those entering training in the medical specialty.
