The General and Specialist Medical Practice (Education, Training and Qualifications) Order 2010
This Order provides for the abolition of the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (“the Board”) which was established by General and Specialist Medical Practice (Education, Training and Qualifications) Order 2003 (S.I.2003/1250) (“the 2003 Order”). It provides for the transfer of its functions relating to postgraduate medical education and training for specialist medical practice and general medical practice to the General Medical Council (“GMC”). It makes textual amendments to the Medical Act 1983 (“the 1983 Act”) inserting in that Act new provisions which are similar to those in the 2003 Order relating to the General Practitioner Register and the Specialist Register.
