<p>Each individual medical school sets its own undergraduate medical curriculum. These
have to meet the standards set by the General Medical Council (GMC), who then monitor
and check to make sure that these standards are maintained.</p><p>The curricula for
postgraduate specialty training is set by individual royal colleges and faculties,
and the GMC approves curricula and assessment systems for each training programme.
Training curricula for doctors emphasise the skills and approaches that a doctor must
develop in order to ensure accurate and timely diagnoses and treatment plans for their
patients. The Royal College of General Practitioners sets the curriculum for general
practitioners (GPs). In order to demonstrate the core competences in the care of children
and young people, the curriculum sets out that GPs should be aware of the early presenting
symptoms of childhood cancers and possible differentials, such as retinoblastoma.</p>
