So how do we make an RDM-p diagnosis? Screening forms trainee + trainer & compare Perception from the trainee Use information from all sources (e-P, but also team members, patients, incidents etc.) and link to R, D, M, or p This looks like a challenging conversation… 5

RAG scoring (all on the scheme or those where there are triggers) Identification RAG scoring (all on the scheme or those where there are triggers) PDT ( SJT) is highly predictive ST1 and ST2 Mock CSA in schemes Monitoring attendance, form R and other organisational tasks MSF .. There is a good association with lower MSF scores (both prof and clinical elements) and AKT, CSA (1st attempt) and needing extension to training PSQ .. there is a smaller statistically significant connection between PSQ + CSA (1st attempt) and final outcome There is no connection between CbD scores in hospital and trainee performance There is a good connection between ESR competency assessment and AKT/ CSA outcomes Doctors in training who require ATT are significantly more likely to have received lower scores on their PSQ (Group 1 mean = 5.02, Group 2 mean = 5.33; p<.001; effect size is medium = 0.33). Doctors who required ATT were significantly more likely to have received lower scores on their MSF (professional) (Group 1 mean = 5.00, Group 2 mean = 5.54; p<.01; effect size is medium = 0.37) and their MSF (clinical) (Group 1 mean = 4.75, Group 2 mean = 5.23; p<.01; effect size is medium = 0.30), compared to those who did not require ATT. 7
Preventive inputs Leeds linguistics course ( for those who are IMG/ non native speakers) Understanding GP course ( Respectful Curiosity) for those who are SJT/ PDT 2 and / or IMG Early identification CSA preparation course (high risk of CSA failure only: derived from CSA familiarisation course- more cases – more examiner input more training for trainers on assessment
“Curative” inputs Dyslexia screening (for those who fail AKT twice / by more than 4% when in St3) or on request AKT support course (for those who have failed AKT) Mentoring (Y&H or private) especially for those with organisational issues Gym and Tonic course (for those who have failed AKT (or CSA) 1 2 1 input from examiners/ specialists for those who have failed CSA (individual or group) 1-2 sessions more if in a group.
Trainer inputs 1-3 Trainer workshops each 6m for trainers to get support and ideas for those who have a trainer in extension (attendance paid for!) Spring and autumn school workshops on : information mastery and preparing trainee for AKT Share involve and document the Trainee in trouble Consulting skills for CSA Problem Registrars ( with Equal opportunities) Awareness and respectful curiosity an approach to working with diversity Teaching clinical reasoning … planned Using Video beyond the COT … in creation (ARCP and ESR and WPBA workshops )
