Completion of training in anaesthesia involves satisfying the requirements of the North West School of Anaesthesia, the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the General Medical Council.
The aim of this site is to state explicitly the requirements for a satisfactory outcome at ARCP. This benefits trainees, who have a clear blueprint of their requirements; educational supervisors, who are able to offer consistent guidance; and the ARCP panel, who are presented evidence in a consistent format. As a reference, the ARCP Panel A use this proforma to guide outcome at:

ARCP panels will be involved in making recommendations for revalidation.
In order to make these annual recommendations, the ARCP panel will be specifically reviewing the ESSR and Enhanced Form R along with reports from the Lead Employing Organisation and Trust HR departments.
It is therefore important that Educational Supervisors are recording the following in the Other Outcomes section of the ESSR:

Internal CME is anything undertaken within your base hospital: eg. attending teaching & audit meetings, formal teaching sessions of junior trainees/medical students (note this does not include informal theatre or ward-based teaching). It also includes any online learning activity with accredited CME/CPD points.
External CME is any regional or national teaching or course undertaken away from your base hospital.
Points are awarded as follows:For consultants, the RCoA used to recommend limits on the number of points claimed for attending or teaching courses. This has now been replaced by a recommendation of a "balanced CPD programme" (for more details see this RCOA CPD document). There are no limitations on CPD points applied to North West trainees and external points for ALS, APLS and ATLS can be listed in the same year.
