The following fields are reported by teams as not being used:

  • Review time, portfolio review date, trainee notified of outcome nor any of the additional fields.
  • Review Time and Portfolio Review Date
  • we don't have any use for the curriculum specialty (14) or sub-type (15) as far as I'm aware.
  • Comments (12) should possibly be removed, or at least made only visible to local teams

Remove:

  • review time
  • portfolio review date
  • trainee notified of outcome

The Assessment Status (4) field could be useful if we could report on it properly; it's not useful in and of itself currently to us

Consideration for reporting

3

PYA (23) is not just for the completion of GIM - it's for any Medicine (JRCPTB) curriculum.

No additional work required

4

Academic curriculum assessed (1) refers to the academic curriculum the trainee is on (e.g. ACF, ACL) and was assessed in (Academic Outcome, 2)

No additional work required

5

Comments such as "Trainee progressing well" should now be included in the Supplementary Detail section under Detailed reasons for recommended outcome (1) or Additional comments from the panel (6), depending on the outcome/details

No additional work required

The field 'next review date' used to auto-populate the next ARCP form on the system, but no longer does this. This is a particular feature I used to use a lot and would be really useful to me if there could be something like this on TIS

The 'next review date' field; should this date be one year exactly after the assessment you are inputting? On the most part yes, but often we need to have a review before that, for those out of sync trainees who are due to gateway before the year is up or for trainees who have had an adverse outcome

Next review date should exactly 1 year following the most recent one, but should be editable

Additional Fields, we use Panel Members. Employer/Exception reports is a legacy field to avoid data issues (this process was replaced with the LEP Report). In theory, the other 3 Additional Fields could be useful, but our ability to customise these has been very limited, and I'm not sure how much use they'd be going forwards

There's kind of two parts to this; I'll talk about the second in a bit (how the fields could be improved), but the first is more of a national/HEDG/whatever decision, which is whether these fields are still necessary? As far as I'm aware, the documentation/activities/exams fields are a carry-over from the old RITA days, when panels might need to record the specific evidence seen. However, now the panels just view the ePorfolio; there might be particular pieces of evidence that are especially relevant to the ARCP outcome, but these are should be commented on in the appropriate Supplementary Detail fields anyway (i.e. if the reason for an O3 is exam failure, "Detailed reasons for recommended outcome" should be, for example, "MRCPCH Part 2 failure"; if an exceptional O3 is being awarded following recommendation from OH, "Mitigating circumstances" would include "Letter from OH regarding sickness"). I personally think that the "Activities", "Exams" and "Documentation" fields are surplus and not useful now, but that would probably require agreement from HEDG/similar

If we are expected to continue to use these fields, for starters, being able to have 'default' lists for certain curricula would be useful. For example, having the MRCGP exam results available as an option for evidence considered would be a complete waste in Paediatrics. We should also be able to isolate this by regions; for example, our Paediatrics programme uses summary documents, which the trainees complete to summarise their evidence/training over the period being assessed, and one of the panel members uses this in the ARCP (adding their own notes having reviewed the portfolio ahead of time) to 'present' the portfolio to the panel. I don't know of any other regions doing this, but having the ability to include "Summary document" in Documentation would be useful to us. This would probably require having something like a national reference table with the ability to add ARCP Acitivites/Exams/Documentation to a curriculum (or vice-versa), and within that, mark which regions it would be available to (similar to the new Associated Local Offices field in Intrepid)

Panel members we use anyway, but would need to have some kind of reference table to populate this with, or a more streamlined approach would be to have panel members 'book' on to certain ARCP panels, with admins then having the facility to remove them from entire panels (if they didn't show up) or from individual ARCPs (if they left part-way through the day/had to step out as they were a particular trainee's Educational Supervisor/whatever)

Employer/Exception Reports is a legacy field; I think this should probably be kept as a read-only legacy field for the time being, as it'll only apply to ARCPs between April 2013 (when revalidation started for junior doctors) and Winter 2015 (the last round of Employer Reports before Live Reporting was introduced with the LEP Reports)

the Concern Summary should have text from the ARCP panel with regards to revalidation (e.g. "Trainee declared unresolved significant event; no current concerns but awaiting coroner's report"), whereas the Responsible Officer's Comments are for any comments the Responsible Officer needs to make on the form (as the ARCP form is the means of transferring information to a doctor's next Responsible Officer); this can either be regarding the information noted on the ARCP form by the panel (e.g. "Coroner's report received 06/11/2017 and reviewed by RO; no concerns") or to add additional information not covered by the ARCP panel

No additional work required

Currently working on GMC ARCP return and what I think would be really useful going forward is the drop down options for Grade at next rotation should include the drop down options required by GMC as well as relevant grades, for example, F2 ARCP 6 needs "Not known from ARCP as trainee applies to specialty training" or Specialty Training ARCP 6 "Trainee completed training - not applicable"

  • Change values within "Grade at Next Rotation Field" drop down (Joanne Watson (Unlicensed) to get GMC ARCP return recognised fields)
  • Within post-assessment detail field #9

Journey

  • bulk upload of assessments within Assessments megamenu
  • view/search within assessments with filtering
  • person record shows outcome only
    • click through to assessments detail page within Assessment
    • indicate on navigation to show them where they are (STEVE)
    • back button to take user back to previous location

  • display Assessments at the top level



12Do we need to record completion and outcome of the exams (AKT, CSA) GP trainees do on TIS? Some local offices seem to record this on Intrepid but i know RCGP eportfolio is often the primary system for such data.Outcome appears to be no?Alistair Pringle (Unlicensed)Joanne Watson (Unlicensed)
13Confirm if anything is no longer correct? For example do we still need the outcomes for RITA and for LAT and FTSTA trainees?

as long as there's still legacy outcomes for RITAs/LATs/FTSTAs, I don't think we'll need those any more (RITA and FTSTA are gone, and I think LATs are only continuing in the other nations) Otherwise it looks fine



14Create an Assessment

There should be an option to create an assessment in a  person’s record too

Also I do not believe that a front page for Assessments showing all assessments, for all trainees of all specialties, is particularly useful. I am not sure I would ever navigate to a trainee’s ARCP pages from this page as it brings up all trainees of the same name?

Being able to batch create/update assessments for a number of trainees at a time would however be useful

Under Event ‘trainee ID’ needs to be GMC number

Layout of page is clunky. Forename and surname are better suited next to one another  

One page to add all ARCP info would be easier to navigate than 4 different pages

When typing in ‘Grade at next rotation’ and ‘Academic curriculum assessed’ no options begin to appear and not able to select an option from drop down box

Feels a little unnecessary to have to click through four tabs of information for one assessment – could all information be on one page?



16View assessments outcome in a person recordPost assessment detail will not save. I have added the required details and clicked save but when I go back in to the assessment, the information has disappeared. I have tried this a few times now in case I had missed something. It may be something to do with the ‘Grade at next rotation’ and ‘Academic curriculum assessed’ issue above

17Data – correct and presentPre populated data seems to be correct
