Letter. Dr Launer provides significant insight into the challenges faced by doctors in his article ‘Managing the threat to reflective writing’.1 In particular, attention has been focused on the approaches to sustain reflective practice in postgraduate education.
As a junior doctor, I volunteered to become a reflective writing tutor for medical students in first year clinical training. Students were given constructive guidance for these assignments, including examples of the different models used in reflective practice; the Gibbs’ cycle (description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusions and actions) was highlighted as an exemplar framework.2 My task was then to provide feedback to students on reflective writing pieces through the year and award an overall score. But can we—or should we—grade reflective writing? . To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.
The Academy for Advancing Practice is asking for feedback on the latest version of the standards for education and training which set out the requirements that university programmes must meet to in order to be accredited by the academy.
From October, Dr David Foster will join the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) to Chair the post-registration steering group, which will review the current post-registration standards for nurses and midwives.
Open access. Peer-assisted learning (PAL) is a common teaching and learning method in medical education worldwide. In the setting of skills laboratories (skills labs), student tutors are often employed as an equivalent alternative to faculty teachers. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of qualitative studies which explore the reasons for the personal commitment of student tutors. The aim of our study was to examine how undergraduate students experienced and evaluated their roles as skills lab student tutors, what their motivation was, and whether social and cognitive congruence played a role in their teaching experiences.
Open access. There is a significant body of literature that indicates that the number of options for single-best answer multiple choice questions (MCQs) can be reduced from five to three or four without adversely affecting the quality of the questions and tests. Three or four options equates to two or three distractors respectively.
Open access. Training health professional students in teamwork is recognized as an important step to create interprofessional collaboration in the clinical workplace. Interprofessional problem-based learning (PBL) is one learning approach that has been proposed to provide students with the opportunity to develop the necessary skills to work collaboratively with various health professionals. This study aimed to explore the extent to which students in interprofessional tutorial groups demonstrate constructive collaboration during group discussions.
The College's Trainees and Members' Committee (T&MC) is aware of the increasing and specific challenges experienced by less than full-time (LTFT) trainees. In response to this, the T&MC launched their first ever survey and the results of this are now available (see below).

Open access. This scoping review aims to gather and map inspiration, ideas and recommendations for teaching evidence-based practice across Professional Bachelor Degree healthcare programmes by mapping literature describing evidence-based practice teaching methods for undergraduate healthcare students including the steps suggested by the Sicily Statement. A computer-assisted literature search using PubMed, Cinahl, PsycINFO, and OpenGrey covering health, education and grey literature was performed. Literature published before 2010 was excluded. Students should be attending either a Professional Bachelor’s degree or a Bachelor’s degree programme. Full-text articles were screened by pairs of reviewers and data extracted regarding: study characteristics and key methods of teaching evidence-based practice. Study characteristics were described narratively. Thematic analysis identified key methods for teaching evidence-based practice, while full-text revisions identified the use of the Sicily Statement’s five steps and context. The database search identified 2220 records. One hundred ninety-two records were eligible for full-text assessment and 81 studies were included. Studies were conducted from 2010 to 2018. Approximately half of the studies were undertaken in the USA. Study designs were primarily qualitative and participants mainly nursing students. Seven key methods for teaching evidence-based practice were identified. Research courses and workshops, Collaboration with clinical practice and IT technology were the key methods most frequently identified. Journal clubs and Embedded librarians were referred to the least. The majority of the methods included 2–4 of the Sicily Statement’s five steps, while few methods referred to all five steps. This scoping review has provided an extensive overview of literature describing methods for teaching EBP regarding undergraduate healthcare students. The two key methods Research courses and workshops and Collaboration with clinical practice are advantageous methods for teaching undergraduate healthcare students evidence-based practice; incorporating many of the Sicily Statement’s five steps. Unlike the Research courses and workshop methods, the last step of evaluation is carried out partly or entirely in a clinical context. Journal clubs and Embedded librarians should be further investigated as methods to reinforce existing methods of teaching. Future research should focus on methods for teaching EBP that incorporate as many of the five steps of teaching and conducting EBP as possible.
Open access. Physical and psychological health problems are prevalent in older adults and rarely exist in isolation. Treating these problems in isolation is resourceful and can be potentially harmful to patients due to delays in diagnosis and treatment and incomplete holistic care plans. Historically, trainees in geriatric medicine and old age psychiatry within the United Kingdom have completed very different training programmes.
Open access. Blended learning has the potential to stimulate effective learning and to facilitate high quality education. For postgraduate health professionals, blended learning is relatively new. For this group we developed, implemented and evaluated two blended learning modules in a master program on quality and safety in patient care. Aiming for a better preparation compared to traditional textbook homework, the course provided not only web lectures and reading, but also interactive assignments and collaborative learning. Additional goal was saving time for the teachers resulting in a potential cost savings.
Open access. Postgraduate medical e-learning (PGMeL) is being progressively used and evaluated. Its impact continues to grow, yet there are barriers to its implementation. Although more attention is now being paid to quality evaluation models, little has been written about the successful implementation of PGMeL. This study aims to determine factors and define themes influencing the successful implementation of PGMeL.
Open access. Providing appropriate levels of autonomy to resident physicians is an important facet of graduate medical education, allowing learners to progress toward the ultimate goal of independent practice. While studies have identified the importance of autonomy to the development of resident physicians, less is known about resident perspectives on their “lived experiences” with autonomy and ways in which clinical educators either promote or undermine it. The current study aims to provide an empirically based practical framework based on resident perspectives through which supervising physicians can attempt to more adequately foster resident physician autonomy.

Mental health and substance use disorders are the leading cause of long-term disability and a cause of significant mortality, worldwide. However, it is widely recognised that clinical practice in psychiatry has not fundamentally changed for over half a century. The Royal College of Psychiatrists is reviewing its trainee curriculum to identify neuroscience that relates to psychiatric practice. To date though, neuroscience has had very little impact on routine clinical practice. We discuss how a pragmatic approach to neuroscience can address this problem together with a route to implementation in National Health Service care. This has implications for altered funding priorities and training future psychiatrists. Five training recommendations for psychiatrists are identified..

There is a major problem with medical recruitment and retention in the UK. The 2018 General Medical Council (GMC) report ‘The state of medical education and practice in the UK’ has indicated that a high proportion of doctors are thinking of either giving up medical practice or reducing their hours in the next 3 years. If this trend continues the shortage of doctors in the UK will increase despite a modest increase in the supply of doctors.
This paper investigates the evidence that increasing the academic component of medical posts may help retain doctors in practice by providing experience and support in an area of medical practice, which appears to fulfil a significant number of doctors’ aspirations. The paper shows that this aspect of medical practice is poorly represented in medical workforce strategic thinking and should be considered as an integral aspect of policy and practice in medical workforce delivery..

BPS blog post by Matthew Warren. The “learning style” myth – the idea that we each have a preferred modality for learning, usually described as visual, auditory or kinaesthetic – just won’t die. Belief in learning styles endures even though psychologists have pointed out repeatedly the many problems with the concept. Students don’t benefit from learning in their supposedly preferred style, for example, and teachers and their pupils don’t agree on the pupil’s learning style in the first place.
But exactly how believers in learning styles conceive of the concept has until now remained unclear. It could be that people take an “essentialist” view that our learning style is something we are born with, for instance. On the other hand, they may believe that learning styles are more liable to change – a “non-essentialist” perspective. A new study in the Journal of Educational Psychology has found that, in fact, both views are common, a result that could have implications for tackling the myth.
Open access journal. Student bullying in the clinical environment continues to have a substantial impact, despite numerous attempts to rectify the situation. However, there are significant gaps in the literature about interventions to help students, particularly a lack of specific guidance around which to formulate an intervention program likely to be effective. With this narrative review about student bullying interventions in the clinical learning environment, we examine and draw together the available, but patchy, information about ‘what works’ to inform better practice and further research.
Open access journal. In-patient postgraduate teaching suffers with issues like long and unstructured presentations inclusive of a lot of historical information and time constraints due to increasing workload. A six-step pneumonic SNAPPS a learner-centered model modifies the learning encounter by condensing the reporting of facts while encouraging clinical reasoning. This study was planned with the aim to evaluate the effectiveness of SNAPPS as compared to traditional case presentation for facilitating clinical reasoning in inpatient setting. We also wanted to understand perceptions of postgraduates and teachers about this new method of case presentation.
Open access journal. Gamification is an increasingly common phenomenon in education. It is a technique to facilitate formative assessment and to promote student learning. It has been shown to be more effective than traditional methods. This phenomenological study was conducted to explore the advantages of gamification through the use of the Kahoot! platform for formative assessment in medical education.
Open access journal. We believe junior doctors are in a unique position in relation to reporting of incidents and safety culture. They are still in training and are also ‘fresh eyes’ on the system providing valuable insights into what they perceive as safe and unsafe behaviour. The aim of this study was to co-design and implement an embedded learning intervention – a serious board game – to educate junior doctors about patient safety and the importance of reporting safety concerns, while at the same time shaping a culture of responsiveness from senior medical staff.
Health Education England (HEE) and the University of Middlesex are collating views on how a lack of English, maths and transferable skills can impede on progression into NHS professions, and what employers think should be included in HEE’s national strategy to tackle this.

Many people, including educators, believe learning styles are set at birth and predict both academic and career success even though there is no scientific evidence to support this common myth, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association.
In two online experiments with 668 participants, more than 90 percent of them believed people learn better if they are taught in their predominant learning style, whether that is visual, auditory or tactile. But those who believed in learning styles split evenly into an “essentialist” group, with more strongly held beliefs, and a “nonessentialist” group, with more flexible beliefs about learning styles, said lead researcher Shaylene Nancekivell, PhD, a visiting scholar at the University of Michigan.

Knowledge and application of non-technical skills (NTS) may represent the greatest challenge facing medical education today. For centuries, medical education focused on developing individual clinical knowledge and technical skills. But, the modern complexities of healthcare delivery and rapid expansion of medical knowledge necessitate a high-functioning team approach, which requires human factors engineering and NTS to operate effectively.
Other complex high-risk industries—like aviation, oil drilling, nuclear power and the military—have aligned their educational systems to match.1–3 While certain healthcare disciplines have developed frameworks to ensure the acquisition and maintenance of clinical and technical skills, no standard framework for NTS exists. With the increasing computational support for clinical and technical skills—decision aids, predictive algorithms, robotic surgery and image interpretation—the true added value of human clinicians may lie with their mastery of NTS..

Free access. Every registered doctor in the United Kingdom has to have an annual appraisal. This involves completing an extensive online form with reflections on the activity of the previous year, including details of continuing professional development (CPD), quality improvement projects, significant events, feedback from colleagues and patients, and any complaints and compliments received.1 The most important part of the exercise takes place a couple of weeks after this, in a one-to-one meeting with a colleague to review the completed form.......
Open access. The RCPsych curriculum for core trainees is currently undergoing review and revision. The Person-Centred Training and Curriculum Scoping Group, which fed into the revision, reported in 2018. This paper shares key findings from the report and offers suggestions on implementing person-centred care in postgraduate psychiatric training and assessment. The scoping group recommended that training and the curriculum should be explicitly person-centred. Among its other recommendations was that skills relating to person-centred practice should be assessed, and the planning, development and delivery of local MRCPsych courses should be co-produced alongside people with lived experience of mental health conditions.
