Postgraduate education for hospital doctors requiring additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of such conditions will be delivered through Continuous Professional Development programmes, which are organised and approved by the medical Royal Colleges.

Guidance and assistance is available to hospital doctors from NHS Education for Scotland via the Postgraduate Deans and Tutors. General practitioners, like other professionals, are expected to look at their own personal learning needs and the health needs of their patients and to seek training accordingly. Guidance and assistance is available to GPs from NHS Education for Scotland via the Postgraduate Directors of General Practice Education.
