The Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) is an ‘independent regulatory body which sets standards, approves, quality assures and evaluates postgraduate medical education and training in the UK’ (Thomas, 2005). The Board was launched in September 2005, although it will be another 2–3 years before it will become fully functional as the single competent authority for postgraduate medical education and training. It is worth noting that the remit of the PMETB does not encompass undergraduate medical education, training for pre-registration doctors or dental education and training. The three important areas of activity of PMETB include approval of curricula and assessments, certification and quality assurance. The first two of these are of immediate and direct relevance to trainees. Brown's paper ‘The Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) goes live’ (2005, this issue) gives an excellent overview of the origins, structure and roles and responsibilities of the PMETB. However, one key aspect that is not discussed in Brown's paper is the impact of PMETB on trainees and training. We will highlight some of these issues and discuss concerns which trainees have raised regarding changes to training which will arise in the wake of the PMETB.

In 2003, UK legislation established a new regulatory body to develop a single, unifying framework for postgraduate medical and dental education and training: the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB). This new independent statutory organisation came into being on 30 September 2005 and set about a systematic examination of existing practice, as well as asking all 57 recognised specialties to submit formal curricula to them for approval. This review of practice translated into a policy document entitled Generic standards for training (April 2006), later updated in July 2008. In December 2008 the Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST) published a surgical version of this, the JCST Standards for Surgical Training.

The Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) was established by an act of Parliament in 2003, to set standards for postgraduate medical education and training and to ensure that those standards are met. On 30 September 2005 PMETB took over the functions of the Specialist Training Authority and the Joint Committee on Postgraduate Training for General Practice. Under article 14(4) of the regulations governing PMETB, doctors whose training or qualifications and experience, considered together, meet the requirements of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) programme in one of the standard CCT specialties, may apply to PMETB for a statement of eligibility for registration. This in turn allows application to the General Medical Council for admission to the specialist register.
