  1. 24 years a trainer Kate Reading Saunton 2014

  2. What have they taught me? • Always know what you are letting yourself in for- CV, informal chat, what are they not telling you • Make clear your role from the start- teacher, listening ear, critical friend (never forget this is a professional relationship) • Don’t underestimate the impact of life events- finances, love affairs, morning sickness • Do you trust them? • Documentation of training- just enough, high quality not quantity- be clear about your expectations • Everyone has a personal consultation style and there is room for infinite variety as long as the quality is there

  3. What have I taught them? • Observation and listening to the patient will usually give you the answer • There is no way around gaining knowledge except learning something every week, for ever- BMJ highlights • I can only be me- sit in with lots of doctors and watch how they do it • Stay within the rules and keep your head down- eportfolio, leave, VTS attendance • Educational theory that works- Pendleton’s rules Johari window Damian Kenny’s consultation model

  4. Why do things go wrong? • Making incorrect assumptions about a registrar • Registrar not telling the whole story • Knowledge deficits • Lack of professional attitude • Personality clash- this should not happen if you have done the preliminaries • Always document issues from the start, record facts first and your interpretation second and sparingly

  5. Where do trainers go for support? • Always trainers’ workshop • Deanery has usually disappointed • Support for trainer and trainee must be consistent and transparent- formal meetings, further training, mediation

  6. Now can we talk about narrow boating?
