Miss Alexis Sudlow, ST3 General Surgery Introduction to ISCP Miss Alexis Sudlow, ST3 General Surgery Good afternoon. Id like to introduce you to a pilot workshop that me and Mr K have set up aimed at improving awareness and use of ISCP

ISCP overview ARCP evaluation largely based on ISCP content and evaluations Several trainees let themselves down at ARCP ISCP forms the basis of your written feedback- essential component of reflective learning Limited guidance available from supervisors So why are we doing this workshop…mainly because we want to see trainees do well at ARCP As Mr Kumar mentioned, several trainees let themselves down at ARCP because of ISCP and maybe in part of that could be that some of the trainers fail to engage fully with ISCP There are no formal ISCP workshops and in fact the only help available is a 9-5 helpdesk which is likely underutilised

Getting Started

Getting Started Create placement Add your clinical/educational supervisor Add learning agreement

Clinical supervisor Roles: Complete assessments requested by the AES or trainees including validating assessments Liaise with the AES regarding any concerns regarding performance or progress of a trainee Keep the AES informed of any issues which may affect a trainee’s progression Provide an end of placement report for the AES which will form part of the ARCP

Types of WBAs Cex- observation of trainee in clinical encounter focusing on history, examination, professionalism, clinical judgement, communication, organisation/efficiency CBD- looks at clinical decision making, application of medical knowledge in the context of a discussion regarding a case a trainee was directly involved with. Assessment should take the form of an in-depth discussion and analysis. DOPS- used to assess technical, operative and professional skills at a basic level and is used in simpler situations than the PBA. PBAs- assesses trainee’s technical, operative and professional skills. Looks at whether a trainee has reached a satisfactory level of competence.
