The Structured Trainer's Report
INTRODUCTION
No other structured trainer's report has been approved for the purpose of
summative assessment in the United Kingdom. Local variations are NOT acceptable
if they include additional criteria, or alter the assessment grid. However,
some Deaneries may wish to use elements of the Structured Trainer's Report as
part of a formative process, and if this is the case, additional criteria
should be included as an appendix which does not form part of the
official Structured Trainer's Report.
The Structured Trainer’s Report was revised in August 2003 in the light of ‘Good
Medical Practice’ and updated to include 4 additional criteria in Part 3:
‘Professional Values’ as follows:
-
The Doctor is able to establish and maintain good relationships with patients
-
The Doctor is able to work with colleagues
-
The Doctor keeps good records of clinical encounters
-
The Doctor is able to demonstrate honesty
The revised Structured Trainer’s Report must be completed for any doctor
starting their training in practice after 1st August 2003. Moreover, it is
strongly recommended that the updated Structured Trainer’s Report is used for
all GPRs who started their general practice training before 1st August 2003 as
it will be useful for their ‘revalidation’.
Requirement of GP Registrars
-
Ensure they discuss the COGPED’s structured trainer's report with their GP
trainer early in their training to ensure that they are familiar with the areas
of practice that will be considered.
-
Submit the report, completed and signed by their GP Trainer, 6 weeks before the
completion of GP training, at the same time as the (final) VTR1 is submitted
for endorsement to the Director or his/her Deputy
-
If GP Registrars wish to use their GP trainer's report for GP appraisal
purposes, they are advised to make a copy before it is mailed to the Deanery
Offices. The Deanery is unable to return a copy of the Trainer's Report once
this has been received.
Requirement of GP Trainers
-
Ensure they are properly informed about the purposes and appropriate completion
of the structured trainer's report.
-
Ensure that they are aware that if a GP registrar changes GP trainer then the
final GP trainer will seek the advice of the previous GP trainer(s) in
completing the report. However, it is the final GP trainer who determines
whether the report is to be signed.
