Yorkshire and the Humber

• Each of the schools have their generic inbox with HEE email address

• LTFT has separate inboxes

• IDT has its own inbox

• No separate assessments or programmes team - structure has been in place since 2012

12 people for medicine, 5 people for pathology

• Less from trainees more from faculties

• Tend to avoid telephone

Each speciality manages their inbox

• Role depends on their bands - Band 3 very task based, higher bands will have oversight; different tasks like sub-speciality

Emails (welcome letter) sent and Form R Part A asked to be filled alongside

• Website

Form R, ARCP, Rotation queries go to school inbox

• Quality team do something on GMC survey (not programme team)

• In line with CoP, email sent to trainees to confirming their details. This is done where their placements are confirmed.

• Rigorous validation against TIS and previous rotation to check quality of data mitigate the bulk of trainee queries.
