Framework Area 7: Continuing professional development as an educator

All trainers are encouraged to participate in trainer induction at the start of their role and are required to undertake ongoing professional development in relation to their trainer role thereafter.

Trainers should also engage in whole practice appraisal and use this as an opportunity to reflect on their performance as a trainer and agree future objectives and development needs with their appraiser.

Trainers are also encouraged to develop their skills and knowledge in leadership and quality improvement in order to better support their resident doctor(s).
