Listed below are the timescales when we would like to see written Consultant feedback. Consultant feedback differs from MSF as it concerns a trainee’s progress in a specific unit of training only. MSF seeks feedback from the multidisciplinary team, including consultants, on overall professional behaviour.
Local forms may be used as long as they cover the same domains as the form included on the RCoA website http://www.rcoa.ac.uk/node/2178. For further information please see the guidance on assessment on the RCoA website http://www.rcoa.ac.uk/system/files/TRG-ASMT-GDNCE-2015_0.pdf
Please comment on the feedback on the CUT form.
For ICM units, Dr Bradley (RA ICM) has advised:’’ Units should have a reliable system for trainees to receive feedback from the Consultants with who they work.’’ Written feedback would be preferred.
