Credentialing Steering Group Report

The GMC has submitted a report to the Department of Health on work led by PMETB on the possible credentialing of medical practice.

In December 2008 PMETB was invited by the Department of Health (England) to lead exploratory work on the possible credentialing of medical practice.

The conclusions of this exploratory work, to which the GMC and others contributed, were set out in a report submitted to the Department in April 2010.

The Department will now take soundings on the report from key interest groups that will inform the next steps. We will provide further information once we have received the response from the Department.
