Guide to Postgraduate Specialty Training in the UK (The Gold Guide)

A guide to Postgraduate Specialty Training in the UK (also known as "Gold Guide") provides the framework for the new postgraduate specialty training programmes (including general practice) commencing from August 2007. It is primarily aimed at Postgraduate Deans and their training networks, Medical Royal Colleges/Faculties, employers and others involved in specialty training.  Trainees may find aspects of it provide useful information about their training.   All trainees appointed to specialty training programmes - both run-through and fixed term specialty training appointments (FTSTAs) commencing after August 2007 will be known as Specialty Registrars (StRs).  The Gold Guide is applicable to StR training which commences after 1 August 2007.
This edition of the Gold Guide does not contain details about recruitment into specialty training. This Guide will be subject to on-going review. 
  • 2007 version of the Gold Guide, for trainees who commenced appointments between Aug 07 and Aug 08, is available for downloading and printing in Adobe pdf format by clicking here. 
  • 2008 version of the Gold Guide, for trainees taking up appointment from Aug 08 is available if you click here.  
  • 2008 Core Training supplement for trainees taking up appointment from Aug 08 in Core Medical Training, please click here
A web based version will be available shortly, allowing easy access and navigation and will provide the means for timely and relevant changes to be made to the Guide when these are required.

Specialist Registrars and Trainees (SpRs/SpTs), and General Practice Registrars (GPRs) will continue in their current training programmes.  A Guide to Specialist Registrar Training (also known as the "Orange Book") and The GP Registrar Scheme Vocational Training for General Medical Practice, The UK Guide (the "Green Book") will continue to provide the framework for SpR and GPR training, unless trainees choose to switch to the new specialty training programmes.  The details of how to do this are set out in the Gold Guide.
