The Stoke-on-Trent School of Anaesthesia

The New Higher Level Training guidebook is now available on the website.

It is updated to comply with the current version of the curriculum and is compliant with the e-portfolio.

Feel free to move over to the new guidebook for all additional units of higher training if you are on the old workbook.

Click the link to go directly to the Workbook page to find it.

Apologies!!

Having rebadged the Birmingham School of Anaesthesia’s new Intermediate Level Guidebook and releasing it to the Stoke School Trainees, I have since found out it is not fit for purpose!!!

Thank you for the feedback. It appears it does not have the correct WPBA’s that are required by the e-portfolio.

I have updated it to comply with the e-portfolio and it is now ready for download from the website

Dear Trainees

The importance of reflective practice in your e-portfolio is already well known.

NB!! Please be aware that all notes on reflection should be anonymised and not contain any patient identifiable information.

Your notes on reflective practice should never be used as evidence or a report for a case you were involved in. Such specific information should be kept separately if needed. The aim of reflective practice is to review one’s practice and prompt further learning.

For further guidance on Reflective Practice please click the link to the webpage

NCEPOD are very pleased to announce that there is now an ‘App’ available for the Surgical Outcome Risk Tool – SORT
The App can be downloaded from the ‘App store’ for Apple devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod) and ‘Google Play’ for Android devices. We have used specific keywords but the quickest way to find the App is to search using the full name “surgical outcome risk tool”.

The tool was described in a paper published in the British Journal of Surgery in November 2014

This was a collaborative project between NCEPOD and SOuRCe at UCL/UCLH based on the data from ‘Knowing the risk’ an NCEPOD study carried out in NHS hospitals in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and the independent sector hospitals.
With best wishes

Hi all,

        The electronic forms are now up and running on the deanery website. Below is the link. Obviously the process is in its infancy so if you have any critique about the process/ forms please let me know so I can feed back to Helen Goodyear.

Looking at the new Gold Guide just to inform you that ARCP will be annual process, any extension for further training following an ARCP outcome 3 is on a pro rata basis except for extensions for exam failure which is on a fixed term basis (1 year total for both exams). Applying for a consultant post and acting up as a consultant is also on a fixed term basis 6 months and 3 months respectively.

Any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Cheers

Jess Goude

The RCoA have produced a Notification of Secondment form for the use of trainees wishing to go Out of the Training Programme to undergo training, in a post already approved by the GMC for training.

Because the post is GMC approved for training, a formal OOPT application is not necessary. The new secondment form allows approval to be gained from the Regional advisor, which can support your application to the deanery for time off the training programme.

For more detail see the OOP page on the website
