The General Medical Council has decided that UK medical students are not to be registered when they start their training as it would bring no benefit to patients or added protection. The registration is required by all doctors to be able to practise medicine in the country. A 2010 review has suggested that rather than checking the fitness to practice at the point if registration by the GMC, local management of students would be quicker and more efficient. New students will be given 'welcome to medicine' packs when they start their degrees since the support alongside the GMC regulation is being removed. They have also made the decision to give provisional registration reference numbers to students at the beginning of their fifth year rather than at the end- giving them batter access to the NHS.
I am interested to know whether this will make a difference to those training to become doctors?
