The draft GMC Order 2026 consultation just dropped. Buried in it is a fundamental change to who can be awarded a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). This matters enormously. Let me explain why.





NHS England executive Glen Burley said today that plans for 1k extra medical training places would "not be moving forward" This would be a significant development as training posts are meant to be filled from August - not mentioned by Wes Streeting in his statement earlier...

Update: In the Commons earlier today, Wes Streeting said "those jobs will not materialise if the BMA rejects this deal" Says NHS trust bosses "were not convinced" about need for training posts due to concerns about the "conduct of resident doctors and the BMA"

The new GMC Order is undergoing consultation. The GMC is seeking to remove the speciality register and decide by themselves who should be issued a CCT. This right is currently protected in law. This is the last hurdle before the GMC will be able to issue CCTs to PAs.
