Declaration of meeting our standards

Once every four years, the Dean of a medical school or postgraduate training organisation must declare that they are meeting - or working towards meeting - our standards in Promoting excellence: standards for medical education and training.

The declaration also asks organisations to comply and engage with our proactive quality assurance model. It marks the beginning of an organisation's four-year quality assurance cycle.

We publish each organisation's declaration and the expected next declaration date.

If we have serious concerns about an organisation's engagement with the process over the course of the cycle, or their ability to meet the standards, we will consider deferring their declaration while we do more work with them to get assurance on these issues.

Copies of the template forms are available in forms and guidance.
