Current State of Surgical Training William Allum Chair, Joint Committee of Surgical Training
Current Issues • Profile of Surgical Training • Shape of Training • Opportunity to improve • Workforce • Credentialling • Generic Professional Capabilities • Simulation • v10 - ISCP / e Logbook • Trainers • Surgeon Outcomes • Budget
Shape of Training • An agreement between • Medical Education England • Academy of Medical Royal Colleges • GMC • Council of Postgraduate Medical Deans • Medical Schools Council • NHS Education Scotland • NHS Education Northern Ireland • NHS Education Wales
Key broad recommendations • Service requires Doctors with more general skills • Requirement for Specialists remains • Training – to CST within 6 years • Credentialing for specific competencies • Training must be more flexible and respond to patient/service needs • Blurring the primary/ secondary care interface
What has Happened? • UK-wide implementation group, chaired by Professor Ian Finlay (2014) • Division of the report into six workstreams (Autumn 2014) • Workstreams fed back to the implementation group • Report to 4 DH Ministers (Winter 2014/15) • 4 DH Ministers Statement (February 2015) • Implementation Group extended (Spring 2015)
Workshops • General themes and progression to CST • Primary – secondary care interface • Interaction with employers • Issues relating to SAS doctors • Academic pathway • Credentialing
What has Happened? • UK-wide implementation group, chaired by Professor Ian Finlay (2014) • Division of the report into six workstreams (Autumn 2014) • Workstreams fed back to the implementation group • Report to 4 DH Ministers (Winter 2014/15) • 4 DH Ministers Statement (February 2015) • Implementation Group extended (Spring 2015)
DH Statement • Implementation in an incremental fashion to minimize service disruption (short and medium term ) • Preserve current fit for purpose structures • Continue the UK Steering Group supported by 4 Nation Implementation Groups • Commission an impact assessment to report by summer 2015 • Implement the recommendation that the careers of SAS doctors should be enhanced. • Pilot credentialing (eg cosmetic surgery) • Seek draft descriptions of training pathways to include CST within 6 years and credentialing for each theme
What might the implications be for craft specialties? • Relatively little • Broad disciplines will remain • Training will be general enough to permit most doctors to participate in and treat emergency patients • Specialist interest will remain • Some sub-specialist activities will be credentialed
What might the implications be for craft specialties? Training • Fewer trainers but better recognition • More use of simulation techniques • Immersion training • Competency based rather than time based • Training to enter team structures • ? Formal mentoring after CST
Strategy for Change in Surgical Training • Opportunity for Surgery • Improve quality of teaching and training • commitment from LEPs • Time for training and supervision • Rota review for emergency service provision • Role of Allied Healthcare Professional workforce
Improving Surgical TrainingWhat are the Objectives • To improve quality of surgical care • To improve the quality of surgical training
Run Through, Competence Based, MRCS required for progression National selection
Simulation - Drivers • Clinical Experience • Change in working practices • EWTR • Technological and Scientific advances • Efficacy of Simulation
ChallengesHuman Resources • Trained Faculty • Design curriculum • Provide structured feedback • Role model • Time for Training • Service vs Training • Patient safety demands on trained surgeons
ChallengesEducational Strategy • Structured curriculum • Learning outcomes • Assessment instruments • Formative and summative feedback • Trainee clinic time vs simulation time • SDL • Trainee Awareness

ISCP – What’s it for? Curriculum Tells you what you need to know Guide to learning Guides learning Provides structure Improves feedback Improves training Personal study Teaching Informal assessment Feedback Formal Assessment Records outcomes
ISCP v10 • First ever complete re-write • Faster • Better prepared for future developments • Planned for July / August release • Beta version available now
ISCP v10 Easier to use More intuitive Simpler appearance Quicker Improve feedback Reduce tick box culture To improve training and learning To meet objectives of ISCP evaluation • Web design • Navigation • Features • Content • v10 aims to keep ahead of the field
Learning Agreement • Central feature • Planning of objectives • Review of progress • Simpler to complete • Logical • No longer needs downloading of topicsBUT • Evidence will still be linked to topics
Improved WBAs • Emphasis on feedback • Structured free text at the top • Strengths • Weaknesses • Actions • Anonymous assessment of trainer quality • Reflective record
Supervisor Reports • Clinical supervisor • Educational supervisor • Structured feedback • 9 domains: knowledge, clinical skills...... • Performance descriptors for each • Free text and performance grade for each domain
GMC Developments • Generic Professional Capabilities • Standards for Training • Equality and Diversity Guidance for Curricula and Assessment • Standards for Curricula and Assessment
Generic Professional Capabilities • Generic Professional Capabilities • Effective communication • Leadership, team working, improving quality and patient safety • Complex and vulnerable groups • Education and training • Research
Generic Professional Capabilities • Generic Professional Skills • Practical skills • Clinical skills • Generic Professional Knowledge • NHS structure
