 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.
