Welcome

TIS Self-Service (TSS) | Clean up TSS data when TIS data is deleted | When data is modified in TIS a notification is sent to the self-service application so that it can update its own data accordingly. A side effect of this, for anyone with a TSS test account, is that you may no longer see the data you expect on the trainee profile. If you are affected, please inform a member of the TIS team and we can update your profile to point to the refreshed data. | |

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:
Up to end of Q3Q4 | Iteration #3
We've created and published a Team charter. And we’ve completed initial work on adhering to the team Charter - a soft/supportive approach of using regular team health-checks against the Charter values: Empathy, Unity, Transparency and Collaboration.
We're reviewing all our meetings and events with a view to rationalising them in the near future
We're embarking on team training in User-Centred Design: Online, 15hrs over 5 days | On-site at one of our offices, 1 day. Some of the team attended the online GDS UCD training, others are booked to attend in Feb and Mar.
Progressed work on standardising Job Descriptions / Job Summaries. We’ve identified the need for two roles we don’t currently have in the team: User Researcher and Performance Analyst.
Debating sensible ways of splitting the team’s work up by Services and Products.
Started the review of Stakeholder mapping.
Had an end of Quarter Review and looked forward to Q4.
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.
