Accreditation process

All new medical schools are subject to an extensive period of quality assurance. In the UK, the General Medical Council (GMC) are the body responsible for ensuring that medical education and training is of a high standard and that new medical schools meet the requirements set out in

Promoting excellence: standards for medical education and training

.

We have begun the comprehensive process of accrediting our programme, and have successfully completed a number of key stages to date. The GMC will monitor our programme on a rolling basis. The final-stage assessment and approval for the award of a UK medical degree is made when the first cohort graduate. The University of Exeter will act as our contingency school during this time, providing support with our programme development and awarding medical degrees accredited by the GMC, should our accreditation be delayed.
