Creating a Trainee Profile
Every trainee has a knowledge and procedures profile of their own Every trainee has a knowledge and procedures profile of their own. This is intended to provide an ongoing personal record of achievement against curriculum targets. At present this profile is still evolving, we hope to make it more user friendly in the future. At present (September 09) trainees should be guided by their programme director as to whether they should keep this record online or use the previous paper based system.
To access the trainee profile click “Training” and then “current attachment”
Click “my profile”
This screen shows progress to date The curriculum targets are pre-set You may see detail by expanding the boxes To alter your record click “update”
Move through the levels to find the element you want to change Click on the relevant box to change the level
Add a reflective note to justify the change (maybe reading, a course, conversation with trainer…). This note is automatically transferred to your journal
Save the changes, and close if you’re finished
The note automatically appears in your journal
It is our intention that eventually, courses and other events will be able to map automatically and update your curriculum in a much easier way
Completing a Procedure Based Assessment record in OCAP Online
Online PBA’s
Three options Complete the assessment records online with your trainer present Complete the records on paper then transfer online Keep everything on paper (possible but not recommended)
Overview of process Before you start Trainer has a logbook account (even if rarely used) Trainee sets up (at the start of training) own logbook account Trainee registers the trainer in their logbook through “hospital attachment management” Conduct assessment as usual in O.R. After the procedure trainer reviews performance with trainee Either Complete online immediately (if you have an available web connected PC handy) Complete on paper, both sign, trainee transfers results to logbook and trainer validates them
Register your trainer
There are 3 ways of accessing online PBA’s
Through the main training page 81
Through the workplace based assessments link 82
Through the Assessment link on the OCAP checklists page 83
Whichever route you choose…
…the procedure is then the same
Select your trainer and procedure
Mark the radio buttons as in paper version add comments where relevant
Trainee completes the reflective section at the end Which eventually transfers the text to their “journal”
Journal accessed through “current attachment”
If the trainer is present validate immediately If not, send to trainer for validation
Trainer receives an email This links to the logbook without logging on
The trainer reviews everything on the assessment
Chooses to validate it as accurate or amend it as required Remember, the trainee is either present with the trainer when this is happening or has the signed copy to show what was originally agreed
Validation “locks” the record, it cannot then be altered
The PBA assessments are automatically transferred to the summary sheet
The summary sheet shows the results from all completed assessments
Other Assessment Tools
DOPS, Mini-CEX, CBD, TAB, Mini-PAT Copies of forms and assessor notes can be found on the MMC, OCAP and ISCP websites
Three options Complete the assessment records online with your trainer present Complete the records on paper then transfer online Keep everything on paper (possible but not recommended)
Overview of process After the “procedure” trainer reviews performance with trainee Either Complete online immediately (if you have an available web connected PC handy) Complete on paper, trainee transfers results to logbook and trainer validates them Prerequisites Trainer has a logbook account (even if rarely used) Trainee sets up (at the start of training) own logbook account Trainee registers the trainer through “hospital attachment management” Conduct “procedure” as usual in clinical setting
Identify your trainer
Complete the online assessment through trainee’s logbook pages
Select relevant assessment tab
DOPS, Mini Cex and CBD work in much the same way
Select your assessor It might be your trainer It might be someone else (see relevant tool’s guidance sheet) who doesn’t necessarily have a logbook account (but does have a “.ac” or “.nhs” email address)
Decide how the form will be filled in Fill in the form now If your assessor is with you If the paper form is already complete and you’re just making the online version Send the form to your assessor If they are going to complete it for you in your absence E.g. mini-pat
Select the “procedure” from the drop-down list
Fill in the usual radio buttons
Validate it (locking the form) if the assessor is present Send it to the assessor for validation (if they are not there) Validate it (locking the form) if the assessor is present
Validation locks the form
Details from the form are transferred to the trainee’s record
And to a printable summary sheet
Print a paper copy using your browser’s “print” function if you wish Beware, you need to select landscape paper, also internet explorer 6 sometimes has problems with this. These difficulties will be fixed shortly so that you can print straight to pdf as elsewhere in OCAP online
If you send the form to be completed by your assessor
The link takes them to the form (no need to have a logbook account) They receive an email The link takes them to the form (no need to have a logbook account)
Exactly the same form
Completing the online forms should be intuitive They can get help with the practicalities by viewing this presentation And with the assessment itself by reading the assessors guide(s)
Validated in the same way
Mini-PAT and TAB are a bit different (and you may use one or the other depending on which deanery you’re in) Both involve requesting assessments from people who may not be T & O trainers
Select the assessment
Select assessor and form completion method in same way as Dops You will probably want to send the form away for completion in the case of Mini Pat and TAB
Use radio buttons and comments in the usual way
When “external assessor” gets to the end of the form they hit “update”
This gives the opportunity to review the whole form easily And then validate (lock) or edit further
The results appear on the trainee’s summary sheet
Finally……….. This Online version is still in the process of development. All users will be informed as and when the program is updated and more guidance will be issued accordingly.
