Evidence for Domain 2
Courses attended or programmes undertaken, including face to face and online learning, incorporating reference to the learning environment
GMC Trainee or Scottish Training Survey (STS) Results
Evidence should demonstrate discussion, reflection and action on these results
Your local ADME will be able to provide these if your department have not received them
Other feedback from trainees
MSF/360 feedback
Reflection of face-to-face meetings with trainees referencing the learning environment
Details of learning programmes (including induction), study schedules, timetables for trainees and clinical teachers
This should include a summary of feedback and evaluation of teaching with reflection, and an appropriate action plan for development points
This may also include reflections on a teaching session delivered by a trainee or peer
Feedback from Colleagues
Description of training role/environment/trainees supervised
May include anonymised examples of when a trainee has spoken out because they’ve felt safe to do so and a reflection on your actions
