Recent developments in postgraduate medical education for the training of junior doctors in the UK necessitate changes in all parts of the curriculum, including the assessment system. There is a move away from the limited, traditional one-off assessment towards multidimensional, broader assessments of a doctor's longer-term performance. This is accompanied by the rapid development of assessment tools, collectively termed workplace-based assessments, and is in keeping with an outcome-based approach to medical education and its increasing professionalisation. In addition to clinical skills, other aspects of being a good practitioner are being assessed, including team-working, working with colleagues and patients, probity and communication skills. Using a combination of tools gives the assessment process high validity. Of the many challenges posed by these changes is the need for data on their reliability in psychiatry. There must be a clear process for applying assessments, national standardisation and training for those using asessment tools.

SummaryAssessment is key to the educational process and plays a significant role in looking at the progress trainees make as a result of training and personal development. Recent developments in curricula have led to substantial changes in assessing progress and attainment throughout postgraduate medical education in the UK. This article outlines the framework used to develop the postgraduate curriculum in psychiatry and describes the nature and purpose of the assessment programme that forms part of this new curriculum. The article considers the principles of medical education that are essential for the success of assessments, not only centrally in the development of the assessment system, but also locally in the delivery of these assessments. The overall context of developments in medical education, as well as the relationship between workplace-based assessments (WPBAs) and formal examinations, are described with specific references to developments in psychiatric training, its curriculum and assessments.

Aims: To explore the current roles, responsibilities and educational needs of ophthalmic specialist nurses (OSNs) in the UK. Method: A survey of 73 OSNs ranging from band 4 to band 8 was undertaken in May 2018. Findings: 73% of OSNs undertake more than one active role, with 59% involved in nurse-led clinics; 63% felt formal learning resources were limited, with 63% reporting training opportunities and 21% reporting time as major barriers to further training. More than 38% emphasised hands-on clinic-based teaching had a greater impact on their educational needs. Some 64% were assessed on their skills annually and 59% felt confident with their skill set. Conclusion: The Ophthalmic Common Clinical Competency Framework provides a curriculum and assessment tools for OSNs to use as a structure to maintain clinical skills and knowledge. Eye departments should use this as guidance to target learning needs and improve standards of care to meet the changing needs of society.

Recent developments in medical education and in UK government policy for the training and service commitment of junior doctors have highlighted the need to examine clinical teaching. There is growing evidence of the effectiveness of more structured approaches to patient-based teaching. The scope of what can be taught includes the three domains of knowledge, skill and attitudes. There are proven models to deliver teaching not only of patient assessment and management but also of all aspects of the doctor–patient relationship. The application of patient-based teaching is entirely consonant with the rigours of the outcome-based approach to curriculum planning and delivery. The successful, thoughtful adoption of patient-based teaching is part of the ‘professionalisation’ of education in psychiatry that in turn begs questions about the learning, accreditation and reward of those involved as teachers at all levels.

AbstractObjectiveRecent studies have indicated a lack of ENT training at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels. This study aimed to review the impact of recent educational innovations in improving ENT training for medical students and junior doctors in the UK.MethodsThree independent investigators conducted a literature search of published articles on ENT education. Included studies were analysed using qualitative synthesis methods.ResultsAn initial search yielded 2008 articles; 44 underwent full-text evaluation and 5 were included for final analysis. Most included studies demonstrated benefits for students when compared to existing teaching standards in terms of objective assessment (knowledge and skills gained) or subjective assessment (confidence and preference) following implemented educational innovations.ConclusionThis study identified educational innovations developed in the past 15 years to enhance the teaching of core ENT competencies. More research is needed to establish their impact on the state of ENT medical education in the UK.

Work-based assessments are ubiquitous in postgraduate medical training in the UK. This article discusses the variety of these assessments and explores barriers to their use and solutions for improving the educational value of these tools for adult learners. The focus should be on feedback and learning rather than assessment, and this may promote discussion of more challenging scenarios where the opportunity for learning is greater. Mobile devices may help reduce the administrative, geographical and time constraints of completing work-based assessments.

Purpose: Postgraduate residency programs in Canada are transitioning to a competency-based medical education (CBME) system. Within this system, resident performance is documented through frequent assessments that provide continual feedback and guidance for resident progression. An area of concern is the perception by faculty of added administrative burden imposed by the frequent evaluations. This study investigated the time spent in the documentation and submission of required assessment forms through analysis of quantitative data from the Queen’s University Diagnostic Radiology program. Methods and Materials: Data regarding time taken to complete Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) assessments was collected from 24 full-time and part-time radiologists over a period of 18 months. This data was analyzed using SPSS to determine mean time of completion by individuals, departments, and by experience with the assessment process. Results: The average time taken to complete an EPA assessment form was 3 minutes and 6 seconds. Assuming 3 completed EPA assessment forms per week for each resident (n = 12) and equal distribution among all staff, this averaged out to an additional 18 minutes of administrative burden per staff member over a 4 week block. Conclusions: This study investigated the perception by faculty of additional administrative burden for assessment in the CBME framework. The data provided quantitative evidence of administrative burden for the documentation and submission of assessments. The data indicated that the added administrative burden may be reasonable given mandate for CBME implementation and the advantages of adoption for postgraduate medical education.

The recent implementation of Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) has had a significant impact on the way that both medical and surgical trainees in the UK are trained and clinically or technically assessed. The aim of MMC is 'to drive up the quality of care for patients through reform and improvement in postgraduate medical education and training'. Surgical training has also been affected by the final stage of the implementation of the European Working Time Regulations. One of the primary changes in MMC has been the introduction of a formal assessment system of the trainees. The new system was initiated to progress towards more competency-based training rather than the total time spent in training. The trainee's progress in achieving clinical and technical competencies is assessed, as is the quality of the trainee and the training he or she receives.
