Palliative Medicine specialty training is a minimum four year programme on the current curriculum which under the new curriculum will remain as four but with one year Internal Medicine included. We will have Post Graduate Doctors on both 2010 and 2022 curricula as well as on the new and old junior doctor contract. The speciality currently has approximately 60 Post Graduate Doctors in Training, at ST3 and above. However, there are plans for a small expansion of training posts in the next few years.
When Post Graduate Doctors in Training are appointed to a training programme, they need to be employed to undertake their role.
