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

2. 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

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.
