Key Points
• Training is trainee led
• Generic ES training doesn’t address:
o ePortfolios
o Specific specialty or GIM requirement
• The GIM SAC now mandates a separate GIM ES report
• ARCP outcomes should not be a surprise
Objectives
• ES Report
• GIM StR requirements
• ARCP Process
• PYA
• Adverse Outcome
• ARCP 6
Educational Supervision
Educational Supervision
• Initial meeting
• Regular updates
• Prepare for ARCP
• Support
The initial meeting
• Make it as early as possible, on rotation, and allocate adequate time
• Review previous ARCPs, ES reports, Form R
• Consider an agenda
The initial meeting
• Identify training needs and how they will be achieved:
• SLEs, study leave, attachments elsewhere
• Ensure GIM & Speciality issues are addressed
• Refer to ARCP decision aids
• Populate the PDP and an honest, achievable timetable
Meet regularly
• Mark progress against ARCP decision aids
• Ensure the curricula are linked appropriately
o Self-rate and get ES sign off for competencies
• Use the free text to justify competency
• SLEs, MSF, MCR
• Identify and escalate concerns early
• Clear targets for next meeting
Prepare for the ARCP
• Allow plenty of time for the ES reports
o Separate ES report for GIM and speciality
• ARCP outcomes are predictable!
• Remember the lockdown date:
o 1 May for GIM

Emergency Presentations
Procedures
Procedures
• Cannot count signoff from CMT
• Part A – Must be live summative DOPS
• 2 x DOPS for ascitic tap (∵ potentially life threatening)
• 1 x DOPS for knee aspiration

• CVP course certificate accepted
Curriculum
• Cannot use assessments from prior to Training Programme
• Max number of links:
o ACAT – 8
o Mini-CEX – 2
o CbD – 2
• Avoid excessive links:
o Less is more — a few good quality links suffice
o Keep links up to date
Stages of GIM
• STAGE 1: First year of GIM
• ST3 unless the first year is in a Teaching hospital with no GIM
• if there are rotation-specific variance with reduced the educational activity an ARCP can assess pro rata and should clearly list the outstanding requirements to achieve stage 1

Constructive Feedback
Adverse outcomes
Adverse outcome
• Face to face
• Presence of APD
• No OOPE
• No chance of accelerated CCT
• Reviewed after 6 months

• 2 x Outcome 5 = 2
• 2 x Outcome 2 = 3
• 2 x Outcome 3 = 4
Adverse Outcome
• Invalid ALS
• No ES Report
• No Form R
• Insufficient SLEs
• Curriculum competencies not signed off
• Not at appropriate stage
• Unsatisfactory report/assessments
Outcome 5 vs Outcome 2
• Outcome 2: Assessment/evidence not undertaken
• Outcome 5: missing evidence
• Outcome 5 can be upgraded to Outcome 1, but has to be done by specified time-usually 2-4 weeks
• Cannot have more than 1 outcome 5
• Either outcome means you CANNOT Accelerate (5 is under review)
Penultimate year assessment (PYA)
PYA

• Undertaken by external assessor
• Local TPD Present
• Full assessment of Eportfolio and documentation
• Presentation and CV
PYA
• Mandatory Targets Set
• Specified time for targets
• CCT can be altered
• Must match parent speciality
• THIS IS NOT AN ARCP
PYA
• If OOPE/Maternity is taken after PYA, A repeat PYA may be needed if CCT date is 2 years or more from PYA
• Virtual PYA
ARCP 6
• Completed training requirements and ePortfolio
• Must have a panel of 3
• PYA targets must be completed
• Sent to external for scrutiny:
• PYA Assessor
• JRCPTB
• GMC
• Need at least 2 months for completion
ARCP 6
• Do not resign until you have been given your CCT
• If you haven’t completed your PYA requirements by the CCT date- you will be given an automatic outcome 3 and extension to training
Tips

• Make it easy to be assessed
• Keep up to date with assessments
