Information from HEIW Postgraduate Education Support
The induction programme for trainers is now available on HEIW Trainer Support web pages at Trainer Induction The programme is a recording of the live induction event that was held in October 2021 and comprises 6 topics that are key to undertaking a trainer role:
- Trainer Recognition and the process for becoming a trainer in Wales
- How do clinicians really think
- Supporting trainees
- Identifying and planning learning objectives
- Conducting effective assessment
- Providing constructive feedback
The full programme is approximately 4 hours and has been accredited for 5 CPD points by the Royal College of Physicians until October 2022. You can also choose to watch particular sections that may be of interest to you.
It is recommended that all new trainers watch the full recording (if you were unable to attend the event in October) and suggest that some of the topics may be useful refreshers for more experienced trainers. Once you've watched the programme, it is always helpful to complete the feedback form to help develop trainer induction moving forwards.
ARCP 2024 Dates & Checklists
All ARCP dates and revised ARCP checklists for 2024 have been published on the ARCP webpage and supercede all previous ARCP checklists - see ARCPs
Introduction of a submission deadline for the ESSR and relevant ARCP evidence has proved very successful. We will continue to share submission dates only with trainees so that panel members have adequate time to review evidence. The actual panel review dates are one week after this submission date for anaesthesia and two weeks after the submission date for ICM ARCPs.
The submission dates for Winter/Summer 2024 Anaesthetic ARCPs are detailed below
Winter
Anaesthesia CT1-3, ST3/4 - 4th January 2024
Anaesthesia ST5-7- 22nd January 2024
FICM - 16th January 2024
Summer
Anaesthesia CT1 - 1st July 2024
Anaesthesia CT2/ACCS CT3 - 25th June 2024
Anaesthesia CT3/ST3/ACCS CT4 - 20th June 2024
Anaesthesia ST4&5 - 3rd July 2024
Anaesthesia ST6&7 - 26th July 2024
FICM - 18th June 2024
All LLP evidence, including the ESSR, must be present to view by the advertised submission date - therefore please co-ordinate the date for ESSR completion with your trainee as early as possible. Trainees who do not submit their evidence by the submission deadline are likely to receive an Outcome 5, followed by an Outcome 2.
All ARCPs will be held in absence.
In the event of an unsatisfactory outcome, a virtual meeting will be arranged within the next 10 day period with the Head of School and Training Programme Director. These dates are to be confirmed.
