Framework Area 5: Supporting and monitoring educational progress

Trainers are required to have regular meetings with their resident doctors to consider their progression through the training curriculum, celebrate their successes and achievements, identify and discuss challenges and concerns, and provide and / or signpost sources of support and guidance as required.

Trainers are also encouraged to participate in ARCP panels. In addition to contributing to assessing a resident doctor’s progress, attending ARCPs also provides a valuable learning experience for trainers including developing a better understanding of curriculum requirements, learning from peers how to write effective Educational Supervisor reports and learning more about the sources of support available to resident doctors.
