aspirations for the future expectations are becoming increasingly explicit
For the trainee Ethos of self reliance Take control of learning • agenda, objectives • reflective activity • collection and maintenance of evidence Prepare for assessment • understand the requirements
For the trainer Understand your responsibilities and become actively involved in developing your expertise to discharge these Recognize that Quality Monitoring ensures healthy critique and consequent “action planning”
For the employer Education and Training are to be valued and regarded as equally fundamental to health as good clinical care and shorter waiting times
For the RCSs and SACs Provide standards • that define surgical trainers capable of providing quality feedback • that define a working environment conducive to surgical education and training • that define a surgical job plan that adequately recognizes these issues.
