We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Apart from making all the usual resolutions, New Year is always a time to think about our careers, look at our CV’s and strive to improve ourselves towards our ARCP or CCT. Our spring conference will take place in Amsterdam this May on 1st-2nd May and there is plenty of opportunity for you to get involved! This year we will be joined by the Dutch Medical Society (DAM). The SAM conferences always provides us with an opportunity for networking, presenting our hard work and meeting other trainees throughout the UK (and in this case Holland). It will be interesting to hear what the Dutch trainees think about their training and how it is structured. There is a dedicated session on acute medical education and training. It will be useful to certainly combine and share ideas with our Dutch colleagues. We certainly could learn a lot from each other and therefore improve our training. Our acute awareness week will take place on 14th-20th July. This is a huge chance for us to raise awareness of our speciality to the public and other hospital workers. You often find that people don’t understand what acute medicine actually is or what an acute medical registrar or consultant actually does. This is an opportunity for us to ‘celebrate’ our speciality and enjoy team bonding. The junior doctors enjoy getting involved and this often encourages them to think about a career in acute medicine. Full details and information packs will be available via our website shortly. We will be interested to hear what you are all planning as we both have a huge part to play in this year’s acute awareness week. Perhaps one day we could have a training awareness day? It would be great if you got in touch with us to let us know your plans or suggestions! We hope to see as many of you in Amsterdam. Please feel free to contact us with any suggestions, ideas or concerns

The Postgraduate Education and Training Board (PMETB) was established by the General and Specialist Medical Practice (Education and Qualifications) Order, approved by parliament on 4 April 2003 to develop a single, unifying framework for postgraduate medical education and training across the UK. The Order placed a duty on the Board to establish, maintain and develop standards and requirements relating to all aspects of postgraduate medical education and training in the UK.

And Training

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.
