1. Implementing the Gold Guide
Autumn 2007
A very brief introduction to presenters and others involved at EMHWD level.
This has got NOTHING to do with MTAS!!!!!

2. Key points If you hear nothing else today……………….. Documents People
Timetable
Problems
Questions
Discussion
Seriously, if you have to go early or want to doze through the session, at least ensure you listen and understand the 6 key points.

3. Documents The Gold Guide Quick Start guide User Manual Portfolios
Websites
These are a combination of National resources and some developed locally.
They apply to ALL Specialties and for trainees aiming to progress in ALL Specialties.
The websites in particular are likely to be developed as time goes on.
The portfolios likewise.
The Quick Start and the User Manual for Supervisors are locally developed documents.
Regard them as similar to those one gets in a box of the latest electronic gizmo. They both do what they say on the tin.

4. People Trainees Educational Supervisors Clinical Supervisors
TPDs (CO/PD in GP)
Trusts/Employers
East Midlands HWD
As with the Foundation Program, the trainee is central to the administration and drive of the Program.
Each of these “people” has roles and responsibilities which are defined within the Gold Guide and referred to in the Quick Start.
An additional task for all Clinical Supervisors is to complete a CS Report, the GP version of which is in the User manual.

5. Timetable Starts now Duration of contract/Training program
Annual review for all
Transition
Out of Program
Academic
Less than full time
Maternity/sickness
All Trainees starting after August 2007 are covered by the Gold Guide, not the Orange or Green Guide.
Unless there are further statutory changes these are the rules for the whole program.
There will be an Annual review of progress of ALL trainees.
There will be QA of the process of review.
Transition trainees will continue with their current arrangements, including RITA for hospital and VTR forms for GP trainees
Out of Program training and experience is covered in the Gold Guide and Quick Start

6. Problems In training In assessments In developing and progressing
In reviews
There will be problems.
With the training, changes to expected posts, change of CS or ES, timetabling.
In assessments, getting them done in time, finding assessors, getting access to e-Portfolios, passing them!!
In developing and progressing, demonstrating evidence, demonstrating development at the appropriate rate, in notifying TPDs of problems
In reviews, getting the evidence to the Deanery in time, getting the Panels set up, getting the resources to address concerns.
Problems MUST be notified early, NOT left until June/July.

There will be ongoing discussion and development of the whole matter at all these levels.
This has got nothing directly to do with MTAS!!
