Why keep the listed core codes?
Release 4 still lists older-code core units. Keep the official list rather than silently replacing them with successors. Release 4 updates superseded electives. The supplied register record checked on 11 October 2026 identifies its release date as 5 September 2025; this is separate from the PDF generation date.
What are the entry requirements?
The official qualification explicitly has no entry requirements. Individual elective prerequisites and provider admission still apply.
