AKT SOX Programme
In June 2021 HEE East of England launched the AKT SOX programme. This innovative programme was developed collaboratively by HEE East and NW. The programme has been designed to support those trainees who have been unsuccessful in an AKT sitting. Programme will be held remotely.
The SOX programme works on the principle of the 6 main reasons why trainees pass the AKT. During the AKT SOX tutorial the trainee will receive personalised feedback in all six domains and be given a plan of what to work on. The programme is supportive and works with both the trainer and the trainee to maximise AKT exam success.
The next AKT SOX trainee day is scheduled for Friday 8th December 2023 (attendance by invitation).
For more information or if you would like to be involved in the SOX programme, please contact England.Primarycare.eoe@nhs.net
The trainee will be contacted after an AKT exam failure and invited to attend an AKT SOX Trainee Day.
The AKT SOX full training day is facilitated by experienced trainers from the region. This will cover learning theory, available resources to assist the attendees in preparing them for their next attempt and will include facilitated breakout rooms.
Following the trainee day, the trainee may be matched with a SOX Educator depending on whether the Exam Support TPD from their scheme believes their are eligible to receive one. SOX Educators are experienced GP trainers or TPDs. They have all been trained in the SOX programme.
The SOX educators will then contact the trainee and trainer to arrange a mutually convenient time to hold the SOX tutorial. These tutorials have the most impact if there are conducted at least 3 months before a planned sitting to allow time for the trainee to reflect and make the necessary changes.
