Specialty Registrar (StR)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The four UK Health Departments have agreed a new career framework for doctors, to be implemented in August 2007. Structured specialist / GP training programmes will begin directly after foundation training, with a competitive entry process followed by a period of continuous training. This will lead to the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT), subject to satisfactory in-training assessment and progress.
By introducing this new framework, [Modernising Medical Careers] aims to update current medical training to ensure it meets the rising expectations of patients and the new demands of the NHS. We also aim to align the aspirations of doctors with the reality of healthcare in a world of unprecedented medical advancement. With the introduction of competence-based, assessed, PMETB-approved curricula, explicit standards will underpin the new programmes.
