The Royal College of Psychiatrists is well on the way to introducing its new curriculum and revised Membership (MRCPsych) examinations and assessments, in line with the requirements of the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board. The new structures might encourage trainees to ask themselves how and why they are studying and learning. Organisers of local MRCPsych courses will need to tailor their courses to fit these new structures, and this might be an optimum time for the College to consider whether it should take a more formal role in approving courses and judging trainees' participation in them.

The UK's Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) went live on 30 September 2005. This editorial summarises the state of play and informs members of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and stakeholders of the changes that have taken place in the intervening year and of the College's response. The College has received provisional approval of its core curriculum, and specialty curricula have been submitted for approval. We are in the middle of pilot work on workplace-based assessments and preliminary results should be available in the early part of 2007, when trainees and educational supervisors will begin training in the preparation for and carrying out of these assessments.

In 2003, UK legislation established a new regulatory body to develop a single, unifying framework for postgraduate medical and dental education and training: the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB). This new independent statutory organisation came into being on 30 September 2005 and set about a systematic examination of existing practice, as well as asking all 57 recognised specialties to submit formal curricula to them for approval. This review of practice translated into a policy document entitled Generic standards for training (April 2006), later updated in July 2008. In December 2008 the Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST) published a surgical version of this, the JCST Standards for Surgical Training.

The Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) was established by an act of Parliament in 2003, to set standards for postgraduate medical education and training and to ensure that those standards are met. On 30 September 2005 PMETB took over the functions of the Specialist Training Authority and the Joint Committee on Postgraduate Training for General Practice. Under article 14(4) of the regulations governing PMETB, doctors whose training or qualifications and experience, considered together, meet the requirements of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) programme in one of the standard CCT specialties, may apply to PMETB for a statement of eligibility for registration. This in turn allows application to the General Medical Council for admission to the specialist register.
