Post-CCT "Specialist" ! 13 October 2007
Stuart H McClelland, SpR anaesthetics Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, NG7 2UH Send response to journal: Re: Post-CCT "Specialist" !	Has no one else noticed that in recommendation 37 of the MMC report, in a diagram of the proposed structure of postgraduate training, after the award of CCT is a box titled "Specialist"? Before advancing to the "Consultant" box there is a further hurdle: "Optional higher specialist exams". Will this be the final step in our journey towards a post-CCT sub- consultant post?
