Why is the ESR important? An Educational Supervisors Review (ESR) is conducted every six calendar months for all GP trainees, as prescribed by the Gold Guide. The ESR format draws together information from many sources in order to provide regular, formative feedback to the trainee, and to inform the decision making of the ARCP panel

Reflective log entries Vs Be general and specific Write in a natural way and describe your feelings Reflect on what went well/not so well How can I improve Learning need generated ? for my PDP Writing a log entry stating you have attended a course doesn’t count, writing what you have learnt and whether or not your learning has changed your practice does count Quality not quantity

What constitutes reflective practice? Internal conversation How you feel about the situation Write about your reaction to the situation Use feeling words Openness You are willing to highlight areas of your performance that fall short of what might be expected Learning Show what you need to learn & be specific about how you are going to achieve this

A few more words on log entries A record of OOH – how many hours per month Professional conversations Audit SEAs Target what you need to check the box for curriculum and try and think about the cases/events in different perspectives Validating – clicking on the curriculum statements, your CS and ES endorse competences

Validating Log Entries Trainee/registrar validates against ‘curriculum statement headings’ Max 2. You need to cover the whole curriculum ES/CS read and validates your log entries against ‘professional competences’ Max 3 You need to encourage hospital CS to read and validate your log entries

ES validation

What to write about Chose meaningful experiences Important to think why have you chosen this specific case Cover all areas of the GP curriculum (check by clicking on review preparation) Difficult patient encounters Difficult encounters with staff Things which went well Significant event analyses Write a log entry with 3 competencies in mind
