This article published in the BMJ this week gives a good overview of the structure of training and the role of the trainee and trainer in negotiating access to training opportunities.

With The Royal College of Surgeons in England, I have worked with over a thousand consultants and senior trainers to establish understanding of the Workplace Based Assessment Tools and their place in Medical and Surgical postgraduate training.

In partnership with some forward thinking Deaneries, we are now offering such courses for Trainees. BEST (Building Excellence in Specialty Training), is a one day course for all Foundation and Core (or ST 1 and 2) trainees who wish to master the approaches needed to get the best out of their training and their trainers.
