First Level Assessors:

Each deanery should have a minimum of 2 calibration days per year or equivalent
and attendance at at least 1 is a requirement for all first level assessors.
New first level assessors should have attended calibration days before
undertaking assessment of summative assessment video. Non attendance at the
required calibration meetings will disqualify assessors from undertaking any
further marking, until recalibrated.
-
The Deanery Office should give comparative feedback to the first level
assessors on their performance bi-annually with overall feedback on their
deanery summative assessment results annually, ie number of passes, refers,
resubmission and fails.

Results of (2) should be communicated to the Deanery Summative Assessment
Co-ordinator and Director to provide feedback on named deanery assessor
performance.

There should ideally be a ratio of first level assessors to GP registrars of
approx. 1:6.
-
Comparison of deanery performance with the national average should be
distributed annually.
-
Individual first level assessors, consistently ‘out of step’ with their
co-assessors should be offered further specific training and should not assess
until this has been completed.

maintain competence.
-
First level assessors may be asked to become members of the national panel and
be involved in first level quality control.
