Missed Opportunity

Foundation trainees replaced the pre-registration house officers in August 2005 after Modernising Medical Careers was set up to 'drive up the quality of care for patients through reform and improvement in postgraduate medical education and training'. Doctors qualifying from UK medical schools entered into the foundation years, which consisted of two years of training designed to form a bridge between medical school and specialty training. All doctors wanting to apply for specialty training in the UK must complete their foundation programme or equivalent.

Specialist training in trauma and orthopaedics (T&O) has changed. In August 2007, the Department of Health initiative, Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) was implemented. This was a system of reform and development in postgraduate medical education and training. MMC aimed for the creation of a structured new programme that assures 'high quality of training, better formal supervision and continuous development of acquired competencies, backed up by good evidence' (http://www.mmc.nhs.uk/medical_education/about_ modernising_medical_care.aspx).

And Training

The training of junior doctors in the UK is undergoing an evolution to ensure that those concerned are adequately trained and specialised for current and future consultant practice. The implementation of this training evolution is currently widespread at the foundation level (SHO-equivalent) and will expand to specialty training programmes as foundation programme trainees complete their training in 2007. Urology has led the change to the specialty training, with three-year trainees having entered the specialty in 2005. The emergence of urology as the lead specialty for change originated in part from a meeting in 1998 that addressed the future of urology and training, the summary of which was published later that year.

The Uk

The recent implementation of Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) has had a significant impact on the way that both medical and surgical trainees in the UK are trained and clinically or technically assessed. The aim of MMC is 'to drive up the quality of care for patients through reform and improvement in postgraduate medical education and training'. Surgical training has also been affected by the final stage of the implementation of the European Working Time Regulations. One of the primary changes in MMC has been the introduction of a formal assessment system of the trainees. The new system was initiated to progress towards more competency-based training rather than the total time spent in training. The trainee's progress in achieving clinical and technical competencies is assessed, as is the quality of the trainee and the training he or she receives.

The Postgraduate Education and Training Board (PMETB) was established by the General and Specialist Medical Practice (Education and Qualifications) Order, approved by parliament on 4 April 2003 to develop a single, unifying framework for postgraduate medical education and training across the UK. The Order placed a duty on the Board to establish, maintain and develop standards and requirements relating to all aspects of postgraduate medical education and training in the UK.

In 2005 the career path, training and assessment of UK junior doctors was fundamentally altered. The traditional progression from a pre-registered house officer year (immediately after graduation) to a senior house officer (SHO) grade (for a variable number of years) has been streamlined into two foundation years (FYs) and then entry into either a core training (CT) or specialty training (ST) programme. The foundation assessment programme (FAP) has developed a competency-based curriculum for training FYs 1–2 based on the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board's (PMETB's) standards.

The Way

Many of you will know that Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) is well under way. The Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) is also well established and is changing the way postgraduate medical training is run and assessed. PMETB guidance is already having an influence on dental training at deanery level. The GDC has approved the specialist list review and some of the recommendations mirror those of PMETB.
