The National Recruitment Office for General Practice training (NRO) was set up by the Committee of General Practice Education Directors (COGPED) in November 2002. It is an administrative body which co-ordinates recruitment to general practice training programmes throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. One of our main roles is to help the deaneries deliver a standard and robust recruitment and selection process that is reliable, valid and fair. We are very pleased that candidates consistently report that they have confidence in the relevance and fairness of the system.
The NRO has published a web-based resource for accessing key research evidence regarding the GP selection process which has successfully completed several years of national recruitment since 2006. The research evidence presented outlines the development of the GP selection system and indicates how it follows best practice.
Prior to the development of the national GP selection system, research showed that various selection methods were applied across different deaneries which lacked standardisation. Directors of Postgraduate GP Education were therefore given responsibility for developing a selection and training system that ensured the process of recruitment demonstrates fair and open competition, and observes best practice in providing equal opportunities for all applicants. Subsequently, a collective commitment was made to work towards standardisation of recruitment methods across deaneries which resulted in the national process.
