Latest updates
24 06 09 - Specialty Certificate Examinations - Not Mandatory for SpRs - It has been brought to our attention that at RITA some SpRs are being put under some pressure to sit the Specialty Certificate Examinations (SCE). Only those trainees who commenced specialty training on or after 1st August 2007 need to sit the SCE for their specialty. JRCPTB wishes to make it clear that SpRs are not required to sit SCEs, but may do so if they wish, and this would be entirely at individuals’ discretion. It has also been suggested that success in the SCE may provide some advantage at appointments committee, but again it will be solely for trainees to make a judgment as to whether or not to sit the examination.
