Procedures were performed by both experienced hysteroscopists and trainees, recorded on DVD, photographed and registered in our database during the global period of February 2012 to April 2014, accordingly to Table 1.
104 trainees recorded 23,918 operations between two 6-month general surgery posts.
Most trainees recorded these activities as 'things to do' either by making a mental note, a post-it note or a note in the patient record.
Secondly, participants were not made aware of the specific focus on supervision until after the observations were completed (participants consented to having all discussions between attending physicians and trainees recorded) to prevent them from altering this specific aspect of their work.
During interviews the researcher, will review the registers of training sessions run by the trainee (recorded in their log books), randomly select two of these people and arrange short interviews with them (firstly obtaining written informed consent).
Training of observers was conducted during a classroom workshop and on-site park visits where trainees practiced recording park visitors and then received feedback on their coding.
A stopwatch-like timer with a start/stop button allows trainees to record the amount of time spent on self-training activities.
Trainees are provided with individual access to the logbook and it is mandatory for all trainees to record their operative experience using only this logbook.
JAG has developed an e-portfolio for trainees to record their endoscopic experience the JAG endoscopy training system (JETS) e-portfolio 16 which is used by all endoscopy training units in the UK.
We have developed an after action review tool to allow a trainer to show trainees a recording of their survey and how they can improve.
