The Annual Review of Competence progession
The composition and function of the ARCP Panel is described in the Gold Guide published and updated by COPMED. As is the review process for ARCPs. This is a generic system used for all medical specialties at all levels and the guide describes the Foundation ARCP process as well as Core and Specialty Training ARCPs. There is a specific Royal College of Anaesthetists guide for ARCP requirements and outcomes and this is published here on the RCOA website.
For those trainees in the Core Acute Care Common Stem programme, there is a guide here.
