DipPOM recognition pathways

A recognition pathway is open to eligible practitioners, across the different specialties, to apply for legacy transition to the DipPOM. Applications for the recognition process will be accepted until 1 December 2023. 

This ‘grandparenting’ process is open to medical specialists who have experience in the field of perioperative medicine, through education, teaching, research, clinical practice and/or demonstrated leadership.
