Northwest ARCP

Toggle between 2010 and 2020 curriculum to show old curriculum requirements.

Holding page as 2020 curriculum has been introduced and School ARCP requirements are awaited.

Audit and Clinical Governance requirements during COVID-19 pandemic adjusted: ES is required to comment on ESSR if no activity undertaken.

Reduced ARCP requirements due to COVID-19 pandemic: a special section has been added for ARCPs conducted under the extraordinary circumstances.

Reflection guidance changed for both FT and LTFT trainees. Clarification about 'Non-Clinical' modules added to CUT form section and new line to introduction to clarify that the ARCP is annual and occurs per calendar year, regardless of progression through the stages of training.

New version of RCoA CPD Guidance published. The wording around CPD points for consultants has been changed to reflect this and the link is to the new document.

ESSR titles for whole and less than full time trainees clarified.

Rewrite of the user interface. Changes made across the recommendations to account for introduction of the RCoA's Lifelong Learning platform in August 2018.

Links to external documents updated.

Feedback link changed to MMACC system.

Academic Progress Report and ARCP Panel Feedback Form information added to the Research tab for those:

in an Academic Clinical Fellowship or Clinical Lecturer post; or
registered for MD(res), MPhil or PhD; or
undertaking any training, trust grade or fellowship post with ≥25% WTE (usually 12 hours per week) dedicated to research; or
out of programme for research (OOPR) or OOPE with ≥25% WTE research

Perioperative medicine requirements included for new CCT curriculum update from the RCoA as of 1st August 2016.
The nomenclature at core level has been updated to reflect new terminology.
The decision tool used by panels for CT has been updated (the ST3+ versions will be available soon).
All links to external documents verified - let us know if any are not working!.

Terminology updated to include the new Completion of Unit of Training (CUT) forms & trainer feedback requirement as part of this process added. Links to College guidance on new assessment.
The decision tool used by panels has been updated.
Probity & health declarations form part of ESSR, so these have been removed as being required as separate LLP entries to avoid duplication.

Placement feedback is now compulsory and evidence of completion is required at your ARCP. The Feedback section has been updated to reflect this

Specific LTFT requirements added.

A few links have been tidied up as a result of some documents moving around on the RCoA website.

Following the summer ARCPs, explicit clarification has been added that:

Acting as a local co-ordinator of a regional/national audit is not sufficient to satisfy audit and clinical governance requirements.
Form Rs should be uploaded to the LLP
Form R is a part of the GMC's Revalidation requirements so will still be required if a trainee has been out of programme.

Feedback process has changed and is now an online process making the ARCP entirely paperless for trainees. The feedback can be completed online or at your ARCP on a tablet.

New Deanery online Form R now replaces the version previously expected to be uploaded to LLP. The proforma used by ARCP panels has been added for reference.

Minor tweak to ensure Intensive Care Medicine Annex F information shown for all grades.

Workaround to allow people using very old web browsers (Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3) to download the files referenced. Thanks to Amy Stocks and Allan Monks for their assistance.

Revalidation notes for College Tutors and Educational Supervisors added to the ESSR section. New site feature to be added to an email list to be informed of major updates to this document.

Feedback section added.

Purely cosmetic - the site should now look better (and be easier to browse) on mobile phones.

Updated 'Revalidation' section, removing the requirement for a hard-copy of the Enhanced Form R, adding the notes for completion and updating the links to the forms & example.

As the North West School of Anaesthesia is trialling the ESSR (Educational Supervisor's Structured Report), the appropriate section of the document has been updated to reflect this.

Version history displayed.

Revalidation requirements added in view of Deanery plans discussed at School Board meeting.

Initial public release of this document.
