An updated General Surgery curriculum is coming in October 2026
The GMC has approved the revised General Surgery curriculum, in line with the Excellence by Design standards for postgraduate medical education. The updated curriculum will come into effect from October 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 General Surgery Specialty Advisory Committee and all stakeholders for their thoughtful contributions and feedback.
