At the end of each year of training a formal assessment of your training will be made to determine whether you can progress to the next year of the specialty training programme. This is the responsibility of the Postgraduate Dean in conjunction with the School of Anaesthesia. The ARCP panel will issue an appropriate Annual Assessment Outcome form. A copy must be kept in your Training Portfolio and a further copy forwarded to your Educational Supervisor. Copies will be retained by the School of Anaesthesia and the Deanery and forwarded to the Training Directorate of the RCA.
In preparation for the ARCP panel meeting you must meet with your educational supervisor and together you must complete the “Educational Supervisors Report”. This details your educational progress and achievements and in order to compile the report your supervisor will examine your portfolio paying particular attention to the workplace assessment documentation and your logbook. The report must be submitted with a logbook summary and a personal development plan and evidence of examination success if applicable.
The ARCP panel will meet to review paperwork without the trainees presence. If the evidence provided at your Annual Review is satisfactory, the panel will recommend outcome 1, indicating successful transition to the next training year.
Deficiencies in your training or poor performance will usually result in you being awarded a outcome 2: a recommendation for targeted training, which, if successfully completed, will not delay your progression to CCT.
Outcome 3 will indicate that the panel has identified that a formal additional period of training is required, which will extend the duration of the training programme.
Outcome 4 will recommend that the trainee be released from the training programme if there is still insufficient and sustained lack of progress, despite having had up to 1 year of additional training to address concerns over progress.
Within 6 months of your anticipated CCT date you will be called up for your final Review. At this review, the entirety of your training will be reviewed and, subject to satisfactory completion, you will be issued with Outcome 6.
In some situations, for example exam failure, an unsatisfactory outcome will be anticipated and the trainee will be invited in advance to meet the ARCP panel. Other trainees may also be invited where concerns about progress have been raised and the anticipated outcome is unclear before the panel meets to make a decision.
All trainees will be invited to meet a representative from the School of Anaesthesia in order to receive feedback regarding their ARCP, to sign the documents and also to allow for educational planning.
