  11. CHECK: Senior staff benefits • “It was good as a reference guide to what I should be teaching” • “If I was pushed for time is was good to point the student in the portal direction as all the learning material was in one place” • “I used it for my own learning” • “It was useful to have the in-service timetable on the portal – I knew straight way where to go rather than looking through the o:drive”

  12. CHECK: Junior staff problems • “It was hard to find the rehab page from the front page” • “After the first 4 weeks I didn’t use it as much as I would run out of time” • “Fitting in time was hard I didn’t want the senior to think I was on the computer all the time!” • “I don’t want it to replace practical in-services from seniors”
