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.
