Deanery/Trust Structures Post graduate Dean Shona MacLeod Deputy Dean Adrian Brooks Associate Post graduate Dean Dr K Baig Training programme Director Tuhina Lloyd Educational Supervisor Hemant Bagalkote, Kasha Woods, Anna Cheetham Post graduate Administrator Elaine Hayes

Review Process Tri-annual meetings with Educational supervisor: Initial development meeting (September/March) career planning PDP Mid term review (Feb/Nov) Assessment of progress Highlighting any early difficulties Pre ARCP (May/Nov) Preparation for ARCP (ensure e-portfolios are up to date!) Collation of data (clinical supervisors report, Special interest/research reports, NHS appraisal, audit reports, reflections, case log, publications, evidence of teaching, conferences attended, WPBAs etc.) Revalidation – enhanced Form R MUST be returned ARCP (June/Feb) Attendance only necessary for non standard outcomes Evidence checked on e-portfolios (make sure TPD and Ed supervisors have access)

Job Allocations Initial career planning should always inform future choice of posts As a rule of thumb: One central, one peripheral and one “endorsable” post (Rehabilitation, Substance misuse, Liaison) Ensure that the posts that you choose enable you to meet all your GA competencies by the end of 3 year rotation Job descriptions, competency mapping and timetables for each post are available on VLE Choice forms are sent out in early May and allocations are initially made by Chair and Deputy chair of the GA/OA ST training committee An attempt will be made by TPD to ensure that the distribution of ST4-6 is equitable across Trust sites due to increasing resource implications. TPD - final decisions and rubber stamping
