The project is based on recommendations from an independent evaluation of FSRH training programmes for doctors including its Diploma. Key priorities of the project are to ensure that clear and accessible training pathways are in place for those with differing training needs and that training options for non-medical healthcare professionals are developed. Underpinning the work is an agreement to joint working between the FSRH and the Royal College of General Practitioners to enhance high quality training for GPs.
The project began in October 2012 with the establishment of a multidisciplinary working group.
