Programme Naming

The way TIS work with Specialty/Curriculum/Programme

A programme is a local instance of the training of a curriculum. The office applies to the GMC for approval to train a curriculum and have to show sign off by the college of that curriculum. When that's approved, the GMC give a number which is the programme number or GMC approval code. That code is then applied to sites which are approved to train that programme/curriculum.

Programme Number: Is the code GMC gives to show that a site is approved for training of a specialty/curriculum. In HCS case they don't need to be real but just the way the system works, we need to create one for each programme e.g HCS001...

Curriculum: A trainee following a specific Curriculum for a determined duration to achieve a set of competencies within a specialty. The Royal Colleges set those competencies for the curricula for trainee doctors.

Please Note: TIS is making some suggestions to HCS on Naming some of their specialties as programmes and grouping some as curriculum under a named programme e.g A programme called Clinical Bioinformatics with the following curriculum Genomics, Health Informatics, Physical Sciences and Physics and Engineering Informatics. Though some on the list below have the same programme name and curriculum name e.g Audiology as Programme name and Audiology as Curriculum.

Specialty Number/Code: It a code for each specialty, often aligns with the NHS Digital Occupation Code

Specialty Type: Curriculum, Post, Placement, Sub-Specialty

Actions for Alex - HCS

Look at the Suggested names for the programme and curriculum/specialist and feel free to amend to suit what you want to see. If you want to add to Programme name STP, HSST, PTP…. please do e.g STP- Audiology
Need a programme number from you if you already have one , If not, you can create one e.g HCS001 ….
Need the NHS Occupational Code (if any) or the specialty Number for each specialty
Feel free to add more specialties to the list
