ACE: Vision

The FMD Academy of Clinical Educators (ACE) exists to support and empower the healthcare professionals who teach our students on clinical placements across London and Malta. Our medical school depends not only on its own faculty, but on the many doctors, dentists, and other clinicians who give their time and expertise to train the next generation, often while working under significant NHS pressures.​

The GMC is clear that teaching is a core professional responsibility; doctors who teach do so at personal cost, and that contribution deserves recognition, investment, and genuine institutional support. ACE was founded to provide exactly that: a community of practice that fosters inclusion and innovation, celebrates achievement, and gives placement educators the resources and recognition they deserve.

Across both London and Malta, ACE works to ensure that clinical educators are not just valued in principle, but supported in practice: through professional development opportunities, co-creation of curriculum, teaching awards, honorary contracts, and scholarship pathways. When our educators thrive, so do our students, and ultimately, so do our patients.​
