Background:
In 2015 the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB), acting on behalf of the three UK Royal Colleges of Physicians, launched a set of quality criteria designed to improve the educational experience of Core Medical Trainees.
Methods:
The criteria were developed with key stakeholders from Core Medical Training (CMT) and monitored via the General Medical Council's annual National Training Survey. This paper describes the development, implementation and impact of these criteria, which have been implemented by UK postgraduate schools of medicine since 2015.
Results:
There were trainee-reported improvements from baseline (2015-18) in at least eight out of the 13 core criteria measured.
Conclusions:
The results demonstrate that a coordinated UK-wide approach to quality improvement, focused on a specific set of clearly defined and measurable outcomes that galvanise trainer engagement, can lead to greater trainee satisfaction in a demanding area of medicine without significant additional resources.
