This chapter discusses the structure of training in palliative medicine in Great Britain and describes the various bodies that oversee it. Under the Modernising Medical Careers (MMC), postgraduate training in Palliative Medicine follows core medial training (CMT), with entry to Palliative Medicine at Specialty Training level 3 (ST3), following a minimum of two years CMT and the achievement of membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians (MRCP) or membership of the Royal Colleges of General Physicians (MRCGP). Some of the bodies that oversee palliative medicine include the Postgraduate Medical Education Training Board (PMETB), the London Deanery, and the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB).
