  2. ARCP • Annual Review of Competence Progression • All post MMC core & specialty trainees are required to undertake an annual assessment of their progress • CT1-ST7 • LTFT • Out-of-programme • Fixed term training contract e.g. LAT, MTI • No ARCP - Cannot progress to next training level • Some conceptual differences compared to the RITAs

  11. ARCP preparation ‘Gold Guide’ states: • ‘The educational supervisor is the crucial link between the educational and workplace based appraisal process since the trainer’s report provides the summary of the assessment evidence for the annual review process. The outcome from the annual review underpins and provides evidence for the workplace based appraisal process which is designed to reassure employers that the performance of doctors in postgraduate training is satisfactory’ • ‘The trainee’s educational supervisor must ensure that the trainee: • Is aware of his/her responsibility to initiate workplace based assessments • Maintains an up-to-date log-book • Ensures that the trainee’s professional portfolio is adequately developed….”

  12. ARCP preparation • “Trainees will not be ‘chased’ to provide the documentation by the required date, but should be aware that failure to do so will result in the panel failing to consider their progress” • Failure to produce evidence will inevitably lead to delay in training progression. • The paperwork is the trainee’s responsibility..but.. • Experience shows that a pro-active Educational Supervisor does help the trainee

  13. Structured report • ESSR key document within e-portfolio • In addition, the College Tutor completes College Tutor training summary to include: • List of completed units of training • College tutor assessment based on: • Consultant group feedback from specialist modules; paeds, cardiac, neuro, ICM, 1 year of general training • Different emphasis to MSF, which will continue as normal • Welsh School standardised Consultant feedback form • Interim supervisors report • ES to complete at end of 6 month placement
