: Feedback from Trainees on the potential domain of App

Forms

They would like general info and comms around corses and training to be easily accessible. They would like access to all this in the App to be it through links to forms they need to fill out, events they can register for or training they must take

They often have to upload their pictures/docs for courses so can this also be easy to implement when they need it

ConcernsResponsibility
  • Ownership
  • Approvals
  • Signatures
  • Accountability
Who is responsible for the application when it comes to process and interactions. If the Admins send something, can we confirm in the application it e=was done, will there be transparency and clear messaging around responsibilities.We need to ensure that messaging is clear, on and off boarding is clear and who is responsible for what

LanguageCommsWe need to ensure that the coms are accurate around the process for each area of the application. The Trainees find that the language for some process and requirements can be quite confusing. Think about users with language needs and ensure this is VERY SIMPLEConsider accessibility standards and try to ensure that we keep things in plain English with help areas if needed

PrivacyGDPR & AccessThey need assurance that nobody will be able to view their interactions, especially around forums and conversations/groupsWe must have a clear understanding of privacy and the issues we face with the app. We must have comms in place to assure users

DuplicatesMultiple systemsIf this Application is another system that the Trainees have to use as well as existing systems they would prefer to leave this out. If the solution actually streamlines the current issue with duplicating data efforts on multiple platforms, they think it would be a good ideaAny part of this proposed application that adds to the process should be removed/read-only. An example is ESR, if they have to update their personal details in the App and ESR, do not bother having this in the App
Profile


Personal details

Interactive/Read-only

  • Contact details
  • Change of address
  • Emails (Personal and work)

  • Courses & Training completed

They asked for their profile to include any of the 'important' information about them, for them to use and share with others. A quick stop place to find out about their past details and current/future commitments and interactions. 

One place for them to update all details around their profile as a Doctor in training

  • Emails

Assessments

ARCP

Access

The Trainees would like to have information around the support they can receive We may want to look into the different types of support offered with links to specific options and some information around what those support systems offer
Specialty Groups
  • Information
  • Links
Some trainees are in very small specialty groups and have little access or knowledge of others in that same situation, so a list of groups would be very usefulThere are some existing groups for some specialties which we may be able to link in the app. Or we may also wish to give the trainees the ability to set up groups within the application

Forum

All contentArchiveThe trainees have asked for all the records to be archived with them able to access this over a say, 5 year period once they finish trainingWe need to understand how this might work, be it, package up their records and have them on a server somewhere? Or send to them via email once they finish?
Procedure logAuditThey would like to see a procedure log of all the things they have done, and applied for, almost like an Audit trailThis may not be viable but we can investigate
LogbookDigital input and reviewThis could be a valuable piece of functionality where they treat the app as a diary around their activities and tasks that link to Trainers and gets approved when needed.Not sure if we can do this but worth looking into
