We believe that CTFs could be a useful asset in all medical schools by delivering high-quality, reliable, standardised teaching for students, as an adjunct to consultant teaching, with additional managerial roles and trainee benefits. CTFs can benefit non-CTF trainees by facilitating and encouraging them to teach. CTFs can organise sessions and advise on curriculum topics, allowing trainees to deliver more targeted teaching. Teaching students may improve trainees' communication, management and leadership skills, which are useful for clinical practice.
