Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Vocational Training) Regulations 1979 (“the 1979 Regulations”) to substitute a new definition of “trainee general practitioner”. The amendment reflects a change in terminology from “trainee general practitioner” to “General Practice (GP) Registrar” in the National Health Service (General Medical Services) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/635), to which the 1979 Regulations refer.

These Regulations impose no costs on business.
