Generic training
NES provides a wide range of training to support postgraduate medical education for both trainees and trainers
Practical hands-on training in the clinical setting is at the heart of postgraduate medical education.
The three key areas of training are:
Postgraduate
This includes structured teaching in addition to practical experiential training for skills best learnt in different ways.
-
Clinical skills training
-
Trainees will need a wide range of non clinical skills to underpin their specialist medical training.
Faculty Development
- Those consultants, GPs and other health professionals who teach and train doctors in training also need skills in how to provide training and understand how individuals learn.
- A new online system with online courses to allow busy clinicians to access courses to support professional development at times that suit them.
- SCOTS is a national programme of key skills training for doctors looking to be involved in postgraduate medical training as supervisors or training programme directors.
Continuing Professional Development and Revalidation
- All doctors need to show that they continue to learn and update their skills throughout their professional life in order to be revalidated to practice - this includes trainees.
- SOAR (Scottish Online Appraisal Resource)
- ePortfolio
- Training delivery needs to be flexible to work round the demanding schedules of doctors in training and in practice.
