We recognise that many trainees have had their training impacted by COVID-19, therefore it has been decided that trainees who have reached the end of CMT/ACCS but were unable to gain all their competencies and have been awarded an Outcome 10, will be granted free ePortfolio access for 12 months to further update their portfolios.
Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare (HEE e-LfH) has worked with Health Education England and the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board to launch a new e-learning programme, Internal Medicine Training.
In November 2019, the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (FICM) and the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB) submitted a proposal paper to the Curriculum Oversight Group (COG)* of the General Medical Council to defend the need for the continued ability to train between Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) and Acute, Renal and Respiratory Medicine.
The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges has published its guidance for flexibility in postgraduate training and changing specialties.
We will be adapting the guidance and tools to support trainees who have completed CMT or ACCS-AM and are undertaking IMY3 and also higher specialty trainees transferring to new curricula from 2021 and 2022.
The Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK is focussed on restarting all assessments; MRCP(UK) Parts 1 & 2, PACES and Specialty Certificate Examinations, in September as currently scheduled. We have been working closely with our third party providers to find new dates for the SCE's and European specialty examinations that were cancelled early in the pandemic and are pleased to confirm these have now been rearranged.
