Trainee Self-service (TSS) | Display message advising trainees that only those invited to partake in pilot should sign-up | Demo from live | |
Tech improvement: Simplify state management i.e. how and when data is shared and updated as a trainee uses TSS. | Demo       | ||
Trainee feedback - Display a message/information showing the trainee who maintains their personal details data and how they go about updating incorrect details. | Demo    | ||
Remove non-ARCP/test Form Rs created during initial pilot | Our forms list was still showing forms created as part of the initial pilot, so those trainees who took part would have seen forms which were not used as part of their ARCP. | ||

Trainee Information System (TIS) | Limit list of Post’s subspecialties to specialties of type |  The creation and update of a Post involves the optional indication of the post’s sub specialties.

Make Front end deletion for assignments hard-delete | Previously when a assessment was deleted in TIS this would update a column in the database (DB) called “softDeleteDate”. when this column has a value it is filtered out of the FE but allowed it to be kept in the DB. this has now been changed to a Hard delete method meaning that the assessment being deleted is not retained in the DB. the warning before deletion has been updated to reflect its permeance. this removes the need for filtering further down the NDW and brings the deletion method in line with the BulkUploads delete. | ||

TIS team development (following external review)
Last Review I highlighted that we recently had an external review of how we work within the TIS team. From that review, a number of recommendations were put forward for how we can alter things going forward. The whole team is actively working towards implementing these recommendations. As we are a team that at its core believes in transparency and openness, we decided to give you a flavour of what we have been working on:
...
Agreed we need to reach out to gain more context for what we do in TIS, within the wider HEE and NHS. And we’ve started having these sessions (one from Jon Howes on PGMDE and another on Digital First). If anyone reading this would like to volunteer to do a session, please let us know!
Started the process of agreeing standard team events (TIS team meetings, stakeholder sessions etc), and central comms (Teams, Sharepoint, mailboxes, etc), so that communicating within the team is more efficient and communicating with us will be, too.
