Hundreds of registrars who ‘passed’ UK college exam 18 months ago told they actually failed
The British Medical Association described the error as 'nothing short of catastrophic'.
Almost 20% of registrars who sat a September 2023 exam were given the wrong results — mostly passes when they should have failed — after a data error only recognised this week by the UK college of physicians.
The Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK said on Wednesday that an audit had identified 222 candidates who were wrongly told they had passed and 61 candidates who were wrongly told they had failed.
