Summary The majority of courses are well regarded and some consistently highly regarded. There was a poor response to Exam pass rates from HoS Importance of reviewing written comments
For Consideration Do you agree all TPDs and HoS’s must know trainee pass rates? How will we achieve this with 100% compliance by Jan 2015?
For Consideration What is the role of Wessex Courses in the multi-professional environment? How will we embrace this change for the benefit of patient safety?
