The process of achieving the merger of the Postgraduate Medical Education Training Board (PMETB) with the General Medical Council (GMC) has taken a significant step forward with the launch of Department of Health (England) consultation document and draft legislation. Subject to the outcome of the consultation and Parliamentary scrutiny, the legislation will transfer the functions of PMETB to the GMC by April 2010.
The GMC and PMETB fully support the merger which will mean that for the first time there will be a single UK body responsible for regulating all stages of medical education from entry to medical school until retirement from practice.
The consultation which is posted on the Department of Health website is open until the 28 August 2009. Click here.
