  1. The Trainers Perspective Jane Allen MSc Clinical Scientist Head of Cardio-Respiratory Department York Hospital

  2. Modernising Scientific Careers – 2011 Over 50 different professions all with different training routes Scientist Training Programme Based on Good Scientific Practice • Life Sciences • Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering • Physiological Science

  3. Modernising Scientific Careers • New programme for all disciplines • Only relatively small numbers of trainees have gone through the programme • Some departments in the region will not have taken a trainee or you might be their 1st • Your department might be learning the process at the same time as you

  4. Trainees from Yorks and Humber Direct Entry In Service • 2012 • LS 7 1 • MP 7 • PS 3 4 • TOTAL 22 • 2013 • LS 6 2 • MP 8 0 • PS 6 2 • TOTAL 24 • 2014 • LS 4 1 • MP 11 1 • PS 6 0 • TOTAL 24

  5. Academic vs. Clinical • University Lectures / Tutorials Practical Assessments Research Project Examination • Clinical 1st Year rotation (time out of your permanent placement) 2nd and 3rd Year Research Project (data collection) OLAT – assesses work based competency and completed through put training programme

  6. Clinical - Worked Based Learning • Application of theoretical knowledge and understanding • Practical use of diagnostic equipment • Problem solving in the work place • Report writing • MDT • Management and HR issues

  7. Weekly Study Day • Protected study • Academic • Don’t forget OLAT ~ 180 competencies over the 3 years • Use time to wisely and to catch up with supervisors when necessary

  8. On Line Assessment Tool - OLAT Work for you and your assessor – don’t get behind 4 styles of assessment Competency Direct observation of practical skills - DOPS Observed Clinical Event - OCE Case based discussion – CBD Must be completed to exit

  9. Balancing academic and clinical time • Constantly balancing deadlines for academic work and work based learning • Ensure that you (the trainee) stay super numerary and do not sacrifice training for the departmental needs – but you need to consider you are training to work in the NHS (and this may be more difficult for In Service trainees)

  10. Objective Structured Final Assessment - OSFA • Take place at the end of the 3 rd Year and run by the NSHCS - 12 stations • 9 Specialist (Years 2 and 3) 3 Generic stations (Research + HR issues) • To Exit STP and gain registration as a Clinical Scientist • MSC • OLAT • OSFA

  11. Communication • Trainers need to know that academic and OLAT progress is satisfactory • Even with OLAT we still need to meet and talk • Don’t leave it until you are struggling to talk to your supervisors • Even though the supervisors look busy they will always find time to speak to you • To complete some OLAT competencies you may need to find external placements • Elective, you will need to let your supervisor know the plans and timing

  12. What makes a good trainee • Hard working • Good communication skills – needs to speak up when in difficulty • Independent – will need to liaise with other departments and hospitals to complete all aspects of STP
