Expected CCT Dates
Expected CCT dates for existing doctors in
training
The number of training posts in each specialty
is limited by training capacity, available funding and perceived
need for CCT holders (or equivalent) in the specialty. Unless
all of these are increased the only way that a new trainee can be
recruited is when an existing trainee completes their training.
All current trainees will have an annual
review of the progress of their training which includes an estimate
of when they will complete their training and receive a CCT. This
may be revised to take account of maternity leave, long-term
illness or a period of academic research.
This graph and data set provide the latest
information on the number of training opportunities expected over
the coming years. Note that approximately 2500 secondary care
trainees are recruited in England each year. Depending on the
size of the specialty, not all deaneries will offer new training
posts in all specialties in all years.
It is important to factor this information
into your future career choices about specialty and geography.
