Objectives
By independently studying pre-recorded lectures before attending the course, delegates will understand the tools utilised in the supervision of trainees, and how to apply them to doctors in difficulty. These tools include:
• Feedback
• Appraisal
• Formative assessment by WBAs
• Assessment meetings with trainees
By attending the course delegates will take part in multiple intensively-facilitated small-group practical sessions during which they will fine-tune their skills to apply these tools and conversation techniques to trainees in difficulty. They will practice how best to:
• recognise a trainee in difficulty
• Instigate mechanisms for early detection
• collect appropriate evidence
• discuss problems with a trainee and assess insight
• set an action plan
• write an objective report
• support trainees
• access help
