Important Notice Regarding Training Fee Restructure - 01/11/07
The Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB) has changed its fee structure to better meet the needs of trainee doctors. The previous fee of £875 which had to be paid in full at entry can now be divided into two elements - £250 for Core Medical Training and £625 for Specialist Training. This will lessen the financial burden for younger doctors as they begin training to be a physician.
The change will take immediate effect, and any ST1 or ST2 trainee who has already paid the full fee of £875 will be refunded £625. ST3s already enrolled may claim back £250.
Trainees wishing to do this should contact the Board on 020 7935 1174 ext 283.
In addition to the changes, the Board will be reviewing other payment options in future, together with a refund policy.

Specialist Registrar(SpR) Enrolments - Increase in Fees
The Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK has been obliged to increase the fees charged for enrolment with the JRCPTB. This decision has not been taken lightly but has been necessary to support the Colleges’ role in setting the standards for, and supporting trainees through, specialist training to the award of CCT. The advent of new patterns of training, revised curricula, quality assurance and assessment demanded by the PMETB, have meant that the amount and complexity of work the JRCPTB will have to do in key areas has substantially increased. At the same time the grant money received annually from the Department of Health to underpin this work has declined significantly, and the Colleges have to take account of this in their financial planning. The increased fees are as follows and apply to enrolment forms which are received at the JRCPTB on or after 01/08/07 (if you have sent your application to us and it is pending, please email Enrolments for clarification).
