New information regarding the MRCPsych Part 1 and MRCPsych Written Paper Validity.

Further to the decision of the Education Training and Standards Committee (ETSC) on 21 July 2010, a sub-committee was convened to consider the decision in 2007 to limit the validity of the MRCPsych Part 1 and the impact of that decision on individual candidates and groups of candidates.

The Examinations Sub-committee proposed that trainees who had not passed the CASC within a specific time-frame should be required to retake all knowledge based papers.
