Will all these standards keep on changing? No, not quite so much now, but things do evolve, and where evidence exists that a particular practice or facility improves the quality of GP specialty training, the GMC will also consider the case for developing a new standard which would become mandatory in due course. Whenever this happens postgraduate deaneries and LEPs would be given sufficient time to implement the necessary changes to achieve the new standard. Individual GP schools can also add to the mandatory standards if they feel a particular area needs more emphasis.
