  1. MSC STPA Training Centre’s Experience Medical Physics UHL Overview Lessons Learned John Sage

  2. Our Experience • Pre MSC, IPEM Scheme • 2 years pt 1 with MSc • 2 years pt 2 • Portfolio and viva assessed • MSC • 2 yr 1 • 2 yr 2

  3. It’s been “fun”! • Phrase was • “Building plane in flight” • Hard • Universities • Training centres • Trainees • Feeling our way forwards • Now greatly improved • Plane is up, flying and on course. • Just one thing left…

  4. First Impressions CONTENT TIME ADMIN

  5. It’ll all fall apart. I preferred the old scheme. It’s all downhill from here! How can we make this work?

  6. Be Realistic • Time is very limited. • Need to be very organised. • They will NOT get to the point a four year trainee would have done. • They can NOT submit the same level of written work. • Cannot spend elective backpacking round science departments of Europe.

  7. Clinical Centre University Clinical Practice Theory Dissertation Employer Assessments Assignments Examination TRAINEE LED Competencies NSHCS Recruitment Monitoring Final Assessment

  8. Competencies • Huge number • Need to be organised • Not assessment • Not full clinical competence • Not 5 page essay • Have they done enough to pass a final assessment? • Picking up flags

  9. Competency Expectations I’ll never get this signed off!

  10. Competency Preparation

  11. Evidence • Can help to suggest required level of evidence to the trainee. • Hammer home need not to regurgitate theory. • Avoid extra work where possible. • Back up with verbal discussion. • Can refer back as often as necessary (but don’t go over the top!)

  12. Do we need to teach them? • Not our job to teach theory. • But not enough for clinical scientist just to teach practise. • How theory links to practise. • Difficult to do in the treadmill of competency collection. • Mentors • Tutorials

  13. Challenge Style Tutorials • Shows gaps in understanding. • Gets them used to assessment. • Involve whole team. • Reminds staff of basic science. • Keeps you on your toes. • People enjoy it!

  14. Key Lessons Be Organised Get the Knowledge Challenge Tutorials Competency Menus Get Evidence Right! Competency is not Assessment

  15. Do it! • Needs preparation and monitoring. • Not a light undertaking. • Training still incredibly valuable • Future workforce • Future recruitment • Making you think • Helping some great people

  16. Last Word The more practical work that can be done to evidence competencies the better – re-writing text books is dull and time consuming Please be quick in responding to submitted work otherwise I’ll have to spend an extra hour remembering what I did. Encourage your trainees to have a life outside work. It’s pretty stressful and you need a release.
