Notes from discussion
User needs | Who |
|---|---|
| System I can access on my phone as access to PCs difficult in hospitals (but also available on desktop for those who prefer this) | T-CT2-Surg |
| Tools and forms that are user friendly on mobile (phone - not tablet) | T-CT2-Surg |
| Electronic signature so that I can complete, sign and submit Form R on mobile without having to print it off | T-CT2-Surg |
| Something I can save and come back to ifI can't complete all in one go | T-CT2-Surgl |
| Directory of TPD email addresses (don't want a direct messaging system - happy just to email them and don't want to over-complicate things) | T-CT2-Surg |
| Messaging system semi-useful but not essential would risk people not logging in and missing something | T-CT2-Surg |
| Alerts for things you have to do e.g. Form R submission deadline; book in for ACP; ARCP date countdown | T-CT2-Surg |
| Countdown of study leave remaining = nice to have not urgent | T-CT2-Surg |
| Not having to resubmit information that HEE already has e.g. on Form R annual update of contact details, placement details "They already know this" - Auto-populate forms with ability to change things | T-CT2-Surg |
| Tool to log sickness absence (no. of days needed on Form R) - not that useful. Wouldn't be detrimental but wouldn't be a priority | T-CT2-Surg |
| Formal, obvious and easy way to apply for study leave & study budget applications and ensure Trust study coordinators know the rules - Trusts don't know this is supposed to go on Intrepid (impact more on HEE than Trainee); some coordinators think only allowed 2.5 days per rotation (but actually allowed to take full 10 days if required) (Needs to have workflow for TPD sign off as Intrepid does. Also believes workflow to rota coordinator - need to check this) | T-CT2-Surg |
| Induction guidance on study leave and other processes, where to find them, who to contact plus "How to" step-by-step guides for e.g. OOP application and easy access to relevant forms | T-CT2-Surg |
| Information on courses and opportunities - not just mandatory but also "outside interests" e.g. management leadership, things being run by other specialties, FMLM Fellowship | T-CT2-Surg |
| Facility to help trainees to swap placements with others - "Swaps board" would work well with CT1 & 2 | T-CT2-Surgl |
| One point of input for information required by ePortfolio and forms for HEE - e.g. rotations need to go on ePortfolio and Form R | T-CT2-Surgl |
| Although would prefer to have face-to-face feedback in person, video conferencing useful e.g. for trainees who are on night shift when ARCP due, or on call (can't leave hospital) | T-CT2-Surg |
| Ability to choose slot within ARCP day e.g. if on nightshift might want to choose first thing in the morning. Also ability to swap slots with other trainees | T-CT2-Surg |
| Notifications for mandatory surveys e.g. GMC, ISCP ePortfoilio | T-CT2-Surg |
| GMC survey - automatic way for HEE to know you've done it (currently have to take screenshot and send it to HEE) | T-CT2-Surg |
| Rationalisation of multiple surveys about each placement from HEE and College - repetitive and not clear which is which and which goes to who | T-CT2-Surg |
| Social aspect - have Facebook groups etc for specialty or cohort - would be good to have something on TIS (although as HEE thing people might not want to use it). Good for e.g. special interest groups e.g. Women in Medicine. Directory of groups or noticeboard would be good | T-CT2-Surgl |
