Quality Issues

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 (pdf).

The Royal College of Psychiatrists has prepared a matrix, which interprets these Standards for Psychiatry, applying many of the speciality specific standards that were in operation prior to the existence of the GMC standards. The resulting document lists the contributions that Chief Executives, Directors of Medical Education, Tutors, Trainers and Trainees make to the Standards. It also suggests outcome measures that can be used to demonstrate that a Speciality Programme or Trust is meeting the Standards

The document is in the form of an Excel Spreadsheet. In its unfiltered form, all standards for all roles are visible. By using the Excel "filter" different versions can be prepared which containjust the standards and responsibilites for one of more roles

The master GMC document and the College Spreadsheet are all available on this page, as are prepared pdf versions of the standards for Tutors, Educational supervisors and Trainees. The pdf has has been prepared in a format that can be used as an audit tool
