Performance assessment methods - training DVD

The JRCPTB commissioned this DVD having completed a pilot study into the three performance assessment methods of the Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise (MiniCEX) - a structured observation of a clinical encounter, Directly Observed Procedural Skill [DOPS] 360 degree assessment (or ‘multi source feedback') and Patient satisfaction questionnaire [PSQ].

The JRCPTB implemented them within SpR training from the autumn of 2005. Whilst the methods of assessment have been piloted using Medical SpRs, there is little doubt that they are also applicable across all medical specialties and grades of trainee and, probably, SAS doctors in the context of providing evidence of competency as part of an application for direct entry in the specialist register.
