This project aims to enhance the quality assurance process by developing a survey for NES psychology trainees. The survey will go through pre-pilot stages and a pilot survey to generate a final survey tool.

Enhancing quality assurance through a NES Psychology trainee survey-Stages to the process Neil Millar Clinical Director
Overview of stages • 1a: Pre-pilot - Review of evidence base & Delphi process • 1b: Pre-pilot - dissemination of pre-pilot survey to trainees, supervisors, HOS, Programme staff • 2: pilot survey (mandatory) – dissemination of pilot survey via Questback and data analysed using factor analysis to generate factor structure for final survey.
Stage 1a: pre-pilot – developing the quality indicators & question items • This stage involves identifying quality indicators and item generation based on: • A review of previous survey tools used across applied psychology training courses and standardised tools developed • A brainstorming session with the working group to further identify quality indicators and as a credibility check of items generated • Working group to review preliminary quality indicators and develop operational definitions and further question items relevant to each indicator
Stage 1b: Pre-pilot – trainees to be sent pre-pilot survey • An initial pre-pilot survey tool developed. This tool would include a larger number of items than would be required in the final survey tool • This would then be sent to trainees, HOS, Programme staff & supervisors to comment on the suitability (clarity & relevance) of questions asked and also to add or comment on further items to be included • Responses used to form the pilot survey
Stage 2: Piloting of survey • Pilot stage – this involves the larger pilot set of items being set up on Questback for dissemination to trainees across all 4 courses for completion about their placement and supervision experiences • This also includes larger number of questions than will be included in final survey • Likert type scale responses completed by trainees • The outcome from this process would be to then subject the data to both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis • Develop the factor structure for the final survey to be used • The data generated from this pilot survey would only be used to generate the final survey tool and NOT used for quality assurance/feedback purposes
Timeline • Pre-pilot (1a) = February – May 2016 • Pre-pilot (1b) = June – July 2016 • Pilot survey (2) = August – October 2016 • Aim to have final survey developed = November/December 2016
