Background

The scope of TIS was developed in 2015 through a requirements gathering process that involved all teams.  A lot has happened since 2015, so we need to re-verify what we understand to be TIS.  This will help us plan the future objectively.  Part of the future planning will be process alignment, so that when we start to look at new developments we do so with assurance that we have already agreed a standard approach.

    • Why do we need to record this? - To track retention rates for Programmes
    • Leaving Destination to be a list of rationalised Reference values for TIS

    Placements - ITP Posts

    • ITP posts are GP focused
    • Definition of ITP posts is to be agreed
    • ITP Posts Vs Accrued Annual Leave
    • Dave Rayner gave a description of ITP posts being one where there is splitting of sites and is a complex post
    • 'Main site' and 'Other sites' recorded within placement is not currently sufficient to capture such Post/Placement
    • Ability to record multiple funding within the Post
    • Naming of the 'Other sites' was raised as a possibility to record ITP, however James mentioned that this should not be confused with the actual purpose of recording 'Other site' on TIS for GP posts.
    • An Additional Site within Placement/Post raised as a suggestion  for recording ITP.
    • London have Posts specific to record ITP placements
    • ITP is for Placement not Posts.
    • Local variations is okay if it  satisfies the below: 
      • Consistent Recording across Regions
      • Ability to report Nationally  

    Placement types (additional)

    • Period of Grace - no additional type required
