Abstract

The pre-registration year, a mandatory period of general clinical training in the United Kingdom, has been the subject of recent comment and criticism. The literature on the year is analysed, taking as a starting point and framework the 1983 review by the Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME), and focusing on the 1987 Recommendations of the General Medical Council. It is concluded that the pre-registration programme has been improved, but that attention needs to be given to house officers' hours of duty, to career counselling for them and to training for teachers and supervisors.
