Regulating doctors, ensuring good medical practice

Programme and post approval

Trainee doctors who wish to receive a CCT on completion of their training must follow an approved curriculum in GMC-approved training posts and programmes. Therefore, a major component of our quality-assurance work is the approval of posts and programmes that directly contribute to the award of a CCT.

Post and programme approval applications are submitted by deaneries with supporting evidence from the relevant medical Royal College or Faculty to gain specialty input. 

All post and programme approval applications should be sent to the GMC directly from the deanery with a cover letter stating the type of approval being requested and providing all necessary supporting information.
