How do you do it? • Look at exactly what you are being asked to do • Look at what you already have • Identify who can help you • Ask for help
QA in Foundation Programme • Look at what advantages and head starts you already have • Deanery colleagues extremely helpful • Foundation Programme very well managed in Northern deanery • Margaret and colleagues developed the QAFP matrix
First time populating database or matrix would be a lot of work but it will grow & we will get better at it Set up a small working group with College Tutors from Medicine, Surgery, Anaesthetics Get it right with these specialties – Lessons likely to work with other specialties Working Together
A Clinical champion A Managerial champion Link into Trust strategy & overall aims Essential Manager is fully informed on QA process – QA expert Engagement of key clinicians What do we need for success?
How do you do this? • By leadership • Communication • Networking across all directorates • Identifying an educational lead in each specialty area • Understanding some will need more support than others
Sharing Success • Some specialties will be more organised than others • Need to learn from those and spread good practice • Anaesthetics well organised but didn’t engage with Education Centre • Resistant to gathering evidence “trust our colleagues, don’t need to prove we are delivering quality education”
What is the next phase? • Links into other standards • Use the same approach • Look at what we already have • Engage with Trust, Deanery & regional colleagues • Essential that you understand your own organisation • Get out there and learn about your own organisation • We must not get stuck in boxes
Makes you aware of improvements of a magnitude beyond what you think possible Internal benchmarking rarely has same “eureka” effect Team approach can grow ideas Value of benchmarking
Learning From Others • Patient Liaison Manager • Community Advisory Group • Trainee Focus Group • COPMED training matrix
Nationally • Encourage people to get out of their boxes • Talk across traditional boundaries • You never know what might happen ……
