Summative assessment each year is a judgement by the Educational Supervisor, with overview from the ARCP panel. There is requirement for progression year on year towards the elements described. It is possible to progress through these more rapidly if trainees have a particular interest or opportunities in this SLO.

End of Intermediate:

At the end of this stage of training the trainee should be starting to be exposed to key administrative tasks namely complaints and critical incidents.  The trainee is expected to be able to start to think about how these tasks should be addressed but is not expected to lead on any of these on their own. There should be at least one entry on the management portfolio which is signed off by the supervising consultant.

End of HST: 

At the end of training the individual is expected to be able to lead on key administrative tasks and help to guide others in completing them. There should be evidence of involvement in Department clinical governance.  There should also be evidence of completion of leadership and management courses and equality and diversity training. A completed management portfolio with the minimum requirements is required by the end of HST (see above). Progress throughout HST is expected.
