About the NRO

The role of the NRO

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 Research and Evaluation Evidence which outlines the development of the GP selection process and indicates how it follows best practice.
