T&O curriculum update from August

15 May 2026

An updated T&O curriculum is coming in August 2026

The GMC has approved the revised T&O curriculum, in line with the Excellence by Design standards for postgraduate medical education. The updated curriculum will come into effect from August this year. Trainees should move to the updated curriculum as they enter specialty training or progress within it, in accordance with the transition plan.

We extend our thanks to the T&O Specialty Advisory Committee and all stakeholders for their thoughtful contributions and feedback.

Further information is available here, including the updated T&O curriculum August 2026 (version 3), Summary of changes, Change mapping proforma and Transition plan.
