General and Specialist Medical Practice (Education, Training and Qualifications) Order 2010 (SI 2010/234)

Abolishes the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) and provides for its functions to be performed by the General Medical Council (GMC). This change implements recommendations made by the report of the Tooke inquiry into Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) (www.mmcinquiry.org.uk/draft. htm) that there should be far-reaching reforms to the structure of medical education and training in the UK.

Also contains provision to allow a GP to be automatically re-included on the GPRegister where he has been temporarily re-registered as a doctor in an emergency pursuant to the Medical Act 1983, s 18A.
