Why Enhanced Induction matters?

The GMC has called for a standardised and supportive induction for doctors new to UK practice and in 2022 the joint national guideline ‘Welcoming and valuing International Medical Graduates,’ was published, outlining the minimum standards for induction for IMG’s.

Who is it for? 

The EoE region runs a virtual full day of ‘Enhanced Induction’ for all doctors and dentists new to the region. This includes both non-trainee and trainee doctors. The aim of the induction is to provide a consistent and effective introduction to the NHS in the region for our international medical (IMGs) and dental graduates no matter which specialty or trust.

Programme

The programme includes a fairly detailed session delivered by the GMC about professional standards and expectations. This is followed by sessions on electronic portfolios, reflective practice, tips on navigating through culture and communication, a session on a sensitive topic titled ‘when times get tough’ if experiencing discrimination, and finally the day finishes with interactive sessions with trainers and trainee IMGs to answer queries pertaining to specific sub-specialties.
