Our standards, guidance and curricula
We set the standards and outcomes for medical education and training in the UK. We regulate all stages of doctors' training and professional development.
The national training survey has now closed
The national training survey has now closed. We will be releasing the results later in the year. You can find how we use your results to help develop safe, supportive and diverse workplaces on our blog.
Education
We set the standards for providers of medical education and training, and we regularly check to make sure those standards are met. Here you'll find the standards, guidance and curricula we publish along with supporting materials.
The national training survey is now closed
We’re now analysing the responses from the 2020 survey and we’ll publish the key findings as part of The state of medical education and practice report later this year. We’ll also provide more granular breakdowns for each question. We’ll use the results to work with postgraduate deans, royal colleges and employers to tackle concerns, share good practice and help to develop supportive and inclusive training environments.
How we quality assure
We're responsible for assuring the quality of education and training, identifying areas of good practice as well as where our standards are not being met.

Reports and reviews
