At the Pontefract Trainers Workshop this week Jaz Walsh fed back about any issues arising from the recent local ARCP panels and this is a summary of what she said. Generally the evidence presented by trainees was a lot better in terms of doing more than the minimum and also the quality of the evidence. The only deficit was in the quality of some trainees PDP entries.
An ongoing issue is about who validates trainees professional competencies. On the Pontefract side of the patch we think that Educational Supervisors should read and validate competencies when trainees are in hospital posts but that Clinical Supervisors should do this for their own trainees. This is not happening at Wakefield and Dewsbury and the TPDs will be seeking some consensus from trainers in Wakefield and Dewsbury about what we should do in the future.
Overall feedback about trainees ePortfolios was that the were better, but remember the bar is always being raised!
