## Description

We are delivering an annual report, the State of Medical Education and Practice \(SoMEP\) report\. This builds on previous reports, and examines a range of aspects of the education of doctors, and the working practices and environments of doctors\. In order to maintain a consistent voice within the SoMEP report, and to capitalise on the insight and skills of an experienced health writer, one single lead author is required to develop content from being a concept outline to final approved content written in the house style of the GMC\.
