The Trainee Doctor
The Trainee Doctor consolidates the foundation and specialty including GP standards for training, and incorporates the standards for deaneries. There is now one set of standards for all postgraduate medical education and training, from the Foundation Programme to the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT), published in one document, The Trainee Doctor.
The Trainee Doctor integrates the mandatory requirements, criteria, responsibility, evidence and guidance for foundation and specialty, including GP training previously published in the Generic standards for specialty including GP training (revised April 2010); the Standards for deaneries (revised April 2010); and The New Doctor (published 2009). These documents can be found in the Foundation Programme archive and the Specialty including GP training archive.
