Associated Assessment System
The GMC has approved the curriculum and associated assessment system for the specialty of Anaesthetics. The documentation received from the Royal College of Anaesthetists makes reference throughout to anaesthesia which is not the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) specialty title. The United Kingdom agreed CCT specialty in accordance with the Medical Act is Anaesthetics. The GMC awaits the receipt from the College of the amended documentation reflecting the approved title.
