What is the purpose of the Annual Specialty Report from Colleges and Faculties?
The GMC needs the Annual Specialty Report because the information from deaneries via the Annual Deanery Report is from their regional perspective on the provision within their scope. The College/Faculty (via the SAC or equivalent) is the expert in the specialty and therefore best placed to take a national view on the specialty as of the quality-management/quality-control function of the Quality Improvement Framework. This information will provide an essential specialty perspective and an overview, by specialty and commentary, as to the performance of national examinations. This will also ensure that the specialty-specific issues and context are fully considered by the GMC. Back to top^ Why do Colleges and Faculties have to submit an annual college summary of minor changes? Each College/Faculty must submit an annual summary of minor changes that have been made to a GMC-approved specialty including GP training curriculum and/or assessment system after the fact for the previous period.
