Popis: The European Board and College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians and the European Association of Perinatal Medicine have been active in the field of quality improvement of specialist training for years. They have formulated guidelines and criteria for this purpose, which are accepted by the representative organizations of medical specialists in the European Union (EU). This work finds its condensation in the European Training Charter for Medical Specialists (1995), which brings together the recommendations on content of postgraduate and continuing medical education in the whole field of specialist medicine. Quality of training is one of the most important factors in the domain of quality of medical care. In the member states of the EU, national professional authorities assess, improve and control specialist training in their countries. For this purpose, feedback is necessary and several feedback instruments should be employed. An important feedback instrument in quality improvement is the visitation of training centres, often coupled with national certification or recertification of trainers and training centres. The need is felt for harmonization and encouragement in the field of visitation of training centres, as national approaches show much variation in the EU presently. This paper presents the general outlines of a European programme for visitation of training centres. The general guidelines for training are also summarized. These are meant as examples and can be adapted to the case at issue. The responsible national authority is recommended to establish programmes for this purpose since these have not been developed yet. These programmes are increasingly required, and they tend to become obligatory as already is the case in several member states of the EU.
