For trainees to receive formal GMC accreditation of sub-specialty training, they must undertake training in approved posts within an approved training programme. This approval cannot be given retrospectively.
Recruitment to all approved training programmes will only be through the national recruitment process similar to other sub-specialty recruitment. This ensures fair, equitable access to posts that have been approved for training. We encourage all those in a base specialty and with an interest in PHEM to explore PHEM training with local providers and submit an application We actively support less-than-full-time training (LTFT), the Fem in PHEM programme and encourage a more diverse workforce. Those interested should read the guidance carefully including the national person specification before applying. Full information is to be found on Health Education England (East of England office) website.
