Training and rotations are overseen by a programme director, one for core stage 1 level trainees and one for higher stage 2 & 3 level trainees. Each hospital has a college tutor, who manages training locally. Individual trainees will be allocated an educational supervisor in each placement. All trainees are expected to maintain a logbook and training record on the Lifelong Learning Platform of the Royal College of Anaesthetists.
Training is assessed using competence based tools, based around the curriculum published by the RCoA and approved by GMC. These include supervised learning events and multi-source feedback (MSF). Trainees have an annual review of competence and progression (ARCP) to determine whether progress is satisfactory and confirm eligibility to enter the next year of training.
