Due to the continuing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic the UKFPO and Royal Colleges are reviewing and potentially amending their requirements for ARCPs. You are advised to review the updated information on the relevant UKFPO and Royal College websites for guidance to ensure you have the correct information requirements for your ARCP.
The Deanery is making every effort to maintain current links to the most recent, GMC approved, UKFPO and Royal College ARCP Decision-Aids which can be found below.
ARCP requirements are based on trainees working full-time. If you are LTFT, please discuss with your educational supervisor / TPD and agree your pro-rata requirements.
