The ARCP process is conducted in accordance with the current version of The Gold Guide. It takes place when a panel review the evidence of a trainee, and an outcome is decided following a discussion amongst the panel. The panel may include the Training Programme Director (TPD), Head of School (HoS), other relevant members of the training committee, the Specialty Programme Manager and Coordinator, and may include an external lay advisor.
