RESUMEN
Este artículo pretende evaluar si el estatus de la profesión médica se ha visto reforzado o debilitado con la nueva gestión pública. Para ello, recoge la opinión y la evidencia presentadas por dos expertos internacionales respecto a la situación en el Reino Unido, con el fin de poder extraer algunas lecciones para el sistema sanitario español. Los argumentos presentados coinciden en afirmar que, lejos de perder estatus y poder ante las reformas sanitarias, la profesión médica ha mantenido su estatus y su autonomía ante otros agentes como gestores, políticos y pacientes. Sin embargo, este mantenimiento del statu quo ha sido a costa de una estratificación intraprofesional que provoca desigualdades de estatus vinculadas a la clase social dentro de la misma profesión (AU)
ABSTRACT
This article aims to assess if the status of the medical profession has been reinforced or weakened with the new public management. With this purpose, it collects the opinion of two international experts regarding situation in the United Kingdom, in order to apply some lessons to the Spanish case. Both agree that, far from losing status and power with the healthcare reform, the medical profession has protected its status and autonomy against other social agents such as managers, politicians and patients. However, the maintenance of the status quo has been at the expense of an intra-professional stratification that has caused status inequalities linked to social class within the medical profession (AU)
