  4. Developing a Deanery QMS • QA Unit • QA Task & Finish Group • Review of Existing Processes • Annual Trust Commissioning Visits • GP Trainer Approval and Three Yearly Monitoring Visits • Specialty Monitoring (previously Royal College Visits) • Deanery Triggered Visits

  5. Review Objectives • Robust QMS • Supportive QMS • Reduced Burden • Wales Concordat (www.walesconcordat.org.uk)

  6. To deliver QA we need 3 elements to our QMS • Tools for collecting evidence both on a “routine” basis and in “triggered” circumstances • Systems for handling the evidence and ensuring recommendations are met and be able to demonstrate this has been done • Clear criteria for making judgments and guidelines for deadlines and defining penalties, an appeal process (internal consistency)

  7. Achieving a QMS • Identify existing tools and use them to their maximum benefit. • Build new internal QC processes only where essential • Put processes into a coherent framework-QMS • QMS built into structures - routine function • QMS must be robust and independent of “enthusiasts” • Ensure QMS meet external standards

  8. PMETB/GMC Generic Framework (of 9 Domains) • Domain 1 - Patient Safety • Domain 2 - Quality Assurance • Domain 3 - Equality, Diversity and Opportunity • Domain 4 - Recruitment, Selection and Appointment • Domain 5 - Delivery of the curriculum including assessment • Domain 6 - Support and development of trainees, trainers and local faculty • Domain 7 - Management of Education and Training • Domain 8 - Educational resources and capacity • Domain 9 - Outcomes

  9. PMETB Domain 8 • Standard: Educational facilities, infra-structure and leadership must be adequate to deliver curriculum • Mandatory: There must be access to educational facilities (including library) and resources (including internet access in all workplaces) of a standard to enable trainees to achieve outcomes of programmes as specified in the curriculum
