From 7 August 2024 the ATSMs will no longer be available for registration, however ATSMs that have already been started can be completed and will count towards CCT. Two ATSMs, two SITMs, or one of each, will be required for completion of training. Trainees can opt to complete an ATSM, or transfer to a similar/equivalent SITM. Each ATSM registration fee already paid will cover the transfer to a SITM. Trainees opting to transfer from ATSMs to different SITMs must have sufficient training time left to complete the special interest modules and advice should be sought from their local SITM-director. |

SAS/LE Doctors |

SAS/LE doctors using Core Curriculum 2019 to evidence skills will be transferred to Core Curriculum 2024. As for ST6 & ST7 above, those who have started ATSMs can complete them; all new registrations will be to the SITM/SIPMs. |

Trainees on Curriculum 2013 |
|
The College will contact all trainees who are on the Curriculum 2013 to identify their transition arrangements. |
Applicable to all grades
Once a learner has transitioned to Curriculum 2024 they cannot revert back to Curriculum 2019.
Any evidence that is relevant to the SITM but was achieved previously can be used to evidence SITMs. This may help trainees who are in ST5 prior to the transition to choose SITMs once the Special Interest Curriculum is introduced in August 2024.
The updated Curriculum 2024 will affect all stages of training. The changes are minor, but to prevent trainees in ST2, ST4 and 5 being disadvantaged they will not have to evidence the additional key skills at their ARCP. When they enter the next stage of training they will be required to evidence all the additional Curriculum 2024 key skills.
