Curricula

JRCPTB

The curricula encompass the knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies needed by geriatricians to provide high quality of care in hospital and the community. The range of skills needed is broad, from the management of acute ill health in the first 24 hours to rehabilitation and the management of chronic disease in the community.  

Curricula and assessments required are available via the JRCPTB website. Curricula have been recently revised and all the curricula relevant to current trainees are as follows. But on these pages, you may find the Higher Level Special Interest Curriculum Grids.
