Open access. Negative comments from senior colleagues about specialties, such as general practice and psychiatry, are known to influence trainees’ career choice, but little is known about the extent of this influence or the mechanism by which it works. There have been calls to ban these disparaging comments, also known as ‘banter’. This study explored how recently qualified doctors make sense of banter in the context of other experiences and information.
Open access. In this research paper we report on the quality of feedback provided in the logbooks of pre-clinical undergraduate students based on a model of ‘actionable feedback’. Feedback to clinical learners about their performance is crucial to their learning, which ultimately impacts on their development into competent clinicians. Due to students’ concerns regarding the inconsistency and quality of feedback provided by clinicians, a structured feedback improvement strategy to move feedback forward was added to the clinical skills logbook. The instrument was also extended for peer assessment. This study aims to assess the quality of feedback using the deliberate practice framework.
Open access. Being medical students, and having experienced different learning approaches ourselves, here, we discuss and critically analyse the importance of the deep learning approach that Chonkar et al. have presented, alongside emphasizing Case Based Learning, and their roles in life long medical learning.
Open access. The medical education system based on principles advocated by Flexner and Osler has produced generations of scientifically grounded and clinically skilled physicians whose collective experiences and contributions have served medicine and patients well. Yet sweeping changes launched around the turn of the millennium have constituted a revolution in medical education. In this article, a critique is presented of the new undergraduate medical education (UME) curricula in relationship to graduate medical education (GME) and clinical practice.
Open access. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a critical skill for healthcare practitioners. Minimal longitudinal research has tracked the changes in EI of therapy students over their final full-time clinical placements.
Open access. Self-handicapping is an effective defense strategy in an individual’s behavior that leads to weak performance in different situations like education. This study aimed to investigate how training problem solving skills affected the rate of self-handicapping among nursing students.
Open access. Students use mobile devices extensively in their everyday life, and the new technology is adopted in study usage. Since 2013, the University of Helsinki has given new medical and dental students iPads for study use. Simultaneously, an action research project on mobile learning started focusing on these students’ mobile device usage throughout their study years. Note taking is crucial in academic studies, but the research evidence in this area is scarce. The aims of this study were to explore medical and dental students’ self-reported study uses of mobile devices and their best practices of mobile note taking.
Conclusions: Serious gaming/gamification appears to be at least as effective as controls, and in many studies, more effective for improving knowledge, skills, and satisfaction. However, the available evidence is mostly of low quality and calls for further rigorous, theory-driven research
A report published by three major health thinktanks calls for a radical expansion of nurse training in England to stop the health and care workforce crisis worsening dramatically.

Letter. We thank Dr Ayton and Dr Ibrahim for publishing their insightful research into the current issues of the UK medical curriculum in the article, ‘Does UK medical education provide doctors with sufficient skills and knowledge to manage patients with eating disorders safely?’.1
We are two UK medical students who have undergone what we consider to be extensive and valuable training in eating disorders as part of our undergraduate curriculum. It is because of our personal experiences that we were disappointed to read the average time dedicated to eating disorder teaching in medical schools was under 2 hours.1 We feel that by sharing our experiences of education on eating disorders and nutrition, we will be able to support those involved with designing medical curricula..

Letter. Junior doctors provide service to the NHS while learning under supervision. As employees, they are salaried to serve their patients. As learners, they must strike a balance between training and service provision over five or more years of postgraduate education. The Secretary of State for Health recently expressed his concern that juniors must not ‘miss out on training because of service pressures’ and committed to improve ‘working lives and training experience’.1 The ongoing review of the 2016 Junior Doctors Contract seeks to tackle these issues..

Free access. Over the past decade, quality improvement (QI) has gone from a secret skill expected only among trained staff in the quality office to a core competency for all health professionals.1–3 This expectation has generated new curricula which have introduced QI to a new generation of learners, but has also created some challenges for health professions educators.4–7 Identifying knowledgeable teachers, defining core content and securing time in the curriculum represent recurring issues, while emerging discussions now centre on how best to evaluate educational efforts in QI. It is here that we find ourselves at an impasse.
Open access. Healthcare professionals are key informants to support individual behaviour change, and although there has been some progress in empowering clinicians to promote physical activity and health at work, an effective strategy overarching the whole medical educational journey is still lacking. This report provides an overview from the Moving Healthcare Professionals programme (MHPP) in the UK, a whole-system educational approach to embed prevention and physical activity promotion into clinical practice.
Richard Agan, Senior Medical Electronics Technician at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, reflects on how the apprenticeship he started in 2007 enabled him to develop skills and confidence that helped to build his career.
Sue West, Senior Nursing Education Adviser, talks about the respective roles of nursing associates and nurses.
It’s just over a month since we opened our register to nursing associates in England and I’m aware that there might still be some confusion about the role and how it differs to that of the registered nurse.
Open access. Use of the video digital format in the classroom is a common way to present clinical cases to stimulate discussion and increase learning. A simulated live performance with actors, also in the classroom, could be an alternative way to present cases that may be more attractive to arouse students’ interest and attention. The aim of the present study was to compare the learning process between a group of students who saw a clinical case as a simulated live scene in the classroom and others seeing the same clinical case projected by video.
Open access. Although Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) should be introduced early on in nursing education to develop students’ independence and self-learning ability, there are few such courses for undergraduate nursing students in Korea. This study examined the effects of the EBP education program for undergraduate nursing students (EBP-EPUNS) on nursing students’ knowledge, skills, attitudes, competencies, and future use of EBP.
Open access. Evidence-informed practice is fundamental to the delivery of high quality health care. Delays and gaps in the translation of research into practice can impact negatively on patient care. Previous studies have reported that problems facing health care professionals such as information overload, underdeveloped critical appraisal skills, lack of time and other individual, organisational and system-level contextual factors are barriers to the uptake of evidence. Health services research in this area has been restricted largely to the evaluation of program outcomes. This paper aims to describe the implementation process of an educational initiative for health care professionals working in midwifery, neonatology or obstetrics aimed at disseminating evidence and enhancing evidence-informed clinical care.
Open access. The translation of research into clinical practice is a key component of evidence-informed decision making. We implemented a multi-component dissemination and implementation strategy for healthcare professionals (HCPs) called Evidence Rounds. We report the findings of focus groups and interviews with HCPs to explore their perceptions of Evidence Rounds and help inform the implementation of future similar initiatives. This is the second paper in a two-part series.

Commenting on the publication of the Government's response to the nursing apprenticeships inquiry, Danny Mortimer, chief executive of NHS Employers, said:
“It is hugely disappointing that the government has chosen not to accept the considered recommendations of the Education Select Committee.
A new report launched today (5 March 2019) by Health Education England (HEE) and NHS Improvement (NHSI), sets out how specialty and associate specialist (SAS) doctors in England will benefit from better development opportunities and support.
A qualitative research report comprising 36 interviews with FE learners and apprentices, highlighting reasons for their non-completion of course or apprenticeship.
The RCN has warned that the NHS Long Term Plan won’t have a chance to succeed if the decline in student nurse applications isn’t reversed. The College is urging the Government to invest at least £1bn a year in nurse higher education in England to overturn the trend.
The Young People’s Academy includes a behind-the-scenes tour and this week youngsters chose to visit Pathology and Medical Records at the Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) in Telford and Theatres and Pathology at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH).
Members of staff also delivered sessions to the aspiring healthcare professionals throughout the day on topics such as the NHS, career opportunities and basic life support skills.
A group of Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs), Physician Associates and Physios went through a number of real-life scenarios that they could encounter within The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust’s (SaTH) busy A&E Departments, using real life manikins that speak, blink and even bleed.
The eCraft2Learn project has researched, designed, piloted and validated an ecosystem based on digital fabrication and making technologies for creating computer-supported artefacts. The project aimed at reinforcing personalised learning and teaching in science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) education and to assist the development of 21st century skills that promote inclusion and employability for youth in the EU. The eCraft2Learn ecosystem supports both formal and informal learning by providing the appropriate digital fabrication.
Open access. Junior doctors undertake a significant amount of prescribing; however, they are not well prepared for this, and report they would like more training in their undergraduate courses. To address this we tested a pharmacist-led prescribing program for final-year medical students.
Open access. Rising numbers of patients with multiple-conditions and complex care needs mean that it is increasingly important for doctors from different specialty areas to work together, alongside other members of the multi-disciplinary team, to provide patient centred care. However, intra-professional boundaries and silos within the medical profession may challenge holistic approaches to patient care.
We used Q methodology to examine how postgraduate trainees (n = 38) on a range of different specialty programmes in England and Wales could be grouped based on their rankings of 40 statements about ‘being a good doctor’. Themes covered in the Q-set include: generalism (breadth) and specialism (depth), interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinary team working, patient-centredness, and managing complex care needs.
Our latest infographic demonstrates the different training options that are available to support traditional NHS training and recruitment routes.
The infographic highlights the key facts that you need to know about different training routes including apprenticeships, T level programmes, return to practice, supported internships, work experience and employability programmes. It also sets out the timescales involved to support and develop individuals through each of the routes and who the training routes are for.
Sue West, Senior Nursing Education Adviser, talks about the new roles set out in the Standards for student supervision and assessment, and their impact in education and training
The government wants to know how we can make sure that health and social care staff have the right training to understand the needs of people with a learning disability and autistic people, and make reasonable adjustments to support them.
Open access. Clinical teaching plays a crucial role in the transition of medical students into the world of professional practice. Faculty development initiatives contribute to strengthening clinicians’ approach to teaching. In order to inform the design of such initiatives, we thought that it would be useful to discover how senior medical students’ experience of clinical teaching may impact on how learning during clinical training might be strengthened.
Open access. We sought to determine whether the Reflective Practice Questionnaire (RPQ) is a reliable measure of reflective capacity and related characteristics in medical students. We also planned to learn how the RPQ could be used in medical education.
Open access. Feedback is regarded a key element in teaching communication skills. However, specific aspects of feedback have not been systematically investigated in this context. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of communication skills training (CST) integrating specific, structured and behavioral feedback.
Open access. There is a concern that traditional instruction based methods of learning do not adequately prepare students for the challenges of physical therapy practice. Self-directed learning is considered to be the most appropriate educational approach to enhance life-long learning as it enhances self-efficacy. This study compares outcomes in two educational approaches: self-directed learning (SDL), and traditional instruction based learning (IBL).
The interpersonal dynamics between patient and doctor remain a daily challenge for clinicians, and reflective practice is a tool that allows them better understanding of how patients engage with treatment. The interpersonal dynamics consultation is a form of group-based reflective practice for patients with difficult relational (interpersonal) styles. It includes the whole multidisciplinary team in a systematic consultation in order to arrive at new understanding and management plans for these patients. Interpersonal dynamics consultations have been used successfully for many years in mental healthcare, and this article has arisen from a project exploring their application in physical healthcare settings. The project works to promote effective working at the interface of physical and mental healthcare and facilitates the important translational work of making psychiatry and psychotherapeutic ideas applicable in a broader context. This article outlines the interpersonal dynamics consultation model and illustrates its use in three fictitious cases from different medical specialties..

Training in communication skills is a vital part of medical education worldwide and essential for psychiatrists, with poor communication often cited as a key contributing factor in healthcare complaints. Simulation training is a rapidly developing educational modality, and educationalists need to be aware of its possible uses and pitfalls in teaching communications skills in psychiatry. By exploring the advantages and disadvantages of the use of simulation training as a method of teaching communication skills in psychiatry, this article demonstrates a clear consensus in the literature that, while there are a number of difficulties to be overcome in simulation training, these are outweighed by the clear educational gains.....

Open access. Physicians need a set of specific competences to perform well in interprofessional teams in their first year of residency. These competences should be achieved with graduation from medical school. Assessments during undergraduate medical studies are mostly rated by supervisors only. The aim of our study was to compare the rating of core facets of competence of medical students late in their undergraduate training as well as the rating confidence between three different groups of assessors (supervisors, residents, and nurses) in an assessment simulating the first day of residency.
Letter. Whitfield and colleagues in a recent letter in this journal used survey and focus group data from internal medicine trainees to get their input into how supervision could be most helpful; they highlight the value of supervisors being approachable, maintaining regular contact with trainees to develop a more rounded view of the trainee, knowing more than just their names and avoiding a ‘tick box’ approach to supervision.1 In another study among internal medicine and emergency medicine resident physicians, supportive factors within the domain of interaction with attending physicians accounted for half of the modifiable items in the work environment felt to be most important to reduce burn-out.2.

Open access. The number of resources available to medical students studying a degree in medicine is growing exponentially. In addition to traditional learning resources such as lectures and textbooks, students are increasingly using e-learning tools like commercially available question banks to supplement their learning. Student preference for learning resources has not been described in detail, and a better understanding of the tools perceived to be useful could provide essential information to medical educators when designing and implementing medical curricula.
Compassion is an essential component of good quality care. Compassion towards people with dementia in health systems is often suboptimal, which can have negative impacts on clinical outcomes and patient experience. Attitudes are formed early in training and the literature on healthcare student compassion towards those with dementia is limited. This study aimed to understand how undergraduate medical and nursing students understand compassion towards people with dementia and factors influencing the delivery of compassionate care.
Open access. Effective communication between patients and practitioners is fundamental to the delivery of high-quality care. This is particularly important in the complex and challenging nature of working in palliative and end of life care. Following specialist communication skills training, a group of healthcare professionals explored the impact of action learning (AL) on the perceptions of their knowledge, skills and confidence in communication skills. The research also aimed to establish an evidence base by exploring the nature and impact of the AL approach employed to facilitate improvements in professional practice.
The Faculty of Physician Associates (FPA) has announced that it will be running its first physician associates (PA) leadership programme commencing 23 April 2019 in conjunction with the Royal College of Physicians (RCP).
Health Education England, in partnership with Salisbury Managed Procurement Services, is planning to develop a national procurement framework for providers looking to deliver the level 7 advanced clinical practice apprenticeship.
Nursing associates become the latest addition to the health and care workforce in England today. The register is now open to the new profession, with around 1,800 nursing associates are expected to qualify over the course of the next few months.
In this new case study we find out how Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust used rota re-design to make improvements around the delivery of education and training within core medical training (CMT).

Open access. Over the past decades, the health sector in general has increasingly acknowledged the effectiveness of interprofessional clinical training in enhancing teamwork. In psychiatry, however, knowledge of the benefits of collaborative clinical training is sparse. This study aimed to investigate the impact of interprofessional training on students’ readiness for interprofessional collaboration in a psychiatric ward.
Open access. Healthcare professionals are required to access, interpret and generate patient data in the digital environment, and use this information to deliver and optimise patient care. Healthcare students are rarely exposed to the technology, or given the opportunity to use this during their training, which can impact on the digital competence of the graduating workforce. In this study we set out to develop and define domains of competence and associated learning outcomes needed by healthcare graduates to commence working in a digital healthcare environment.
For physicians in training and their mentors, the process of learning and teaching clinical medicine has become challenging in the electronic medical record (EMR) era. Trainees and their mentors exist in a milieu of incessant box checking and laborious documentation that has no clinical educational value, limits the time for teaching and curtails clinical cognitive skill development. These unintended consequences of the EMR are juxtaposed against the EMR’s intended benefits of improved patient care and safety with reduced medical errors, improved clinical support systems, reduced potential for negligence with clinical data and metadata data supporting compliance with the standard of care. Although the mindset was technology would be the solution to many healthcare issues, there was not an appreciation of the cumulative impact of the non-educational workload on physician time and education..

Open access. Workforce studies show a declining proportion of UK junior doctors proceeding directly to specialist training, with many taking career breaks. Doctors may be choosing to delay this important career decision.
BPS Blog post. Given a passage of text to study, many students repeatedly re-read it in the hope the information will eventually stick. Psychology research has shown the futility of this approach. Re-reading is a poor strategy, it’s too passive and it leads the mind to wander. Much better to test yourself on what you read, or explain it to yourself or someone else. Now a paper in Experimental Psychology suggests the same is true of lecture videos – immediately re-watching them doesn’t lead to any greater learning.
Open access. Medical education leaders are important for educational quality in postgraduate medical education. Their work tasks are complex and contain different components. However, factors that are influencing leaders´ effectiveness in completing these tasks are unexplored. Understanding and developing these factors is most likely essential to strengthen postgraduate medical education and to consequently improve the quality in health care delivery. This study explores the experiences of factors that influence effectiveness of clinical consultants responsible for postgraduate medical education at clinical departments. Effectiveness was defined as fulfillment of work tasks.
Open access. Understanding students’ learning styles, and modifying teaching styles and material accordingly, is an essential to delivering quality education. Knowing more about the learning styles of physiotherapy learners will assist educators’ planning and delivering of learning activities. The purpose of this scoping review was to explore what is published about physiotherapy learning styles.

We will be hosting three webinars in January 2019 to walk employers through the introduction of medical associate profession (MAP) roles.
These webinars will highlight the value that MAPs roles can add to multi-disciplinary teams working in medical models of care.
Open access. The UK faces geographical variation in the recruitment of doctors. Understanding where medical graduates choose to go for training is important because doctors are more likely to consider practicing in areas where they completed postgraduate training. The wider literature also suggests that there is a relationship between origin and background, and where doctors wish to train/work. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the geographical mobility of UK medical graduates from different socio-economic groups in terms of where they wish to spend their first years of postgraduate training.
Open access. The prevalence of psychiatric disorders in children and young people is high but despite this, many doctors have difficulty identifying and managing psychiatric disorders presenting in this age group. The purpose of this study was to determine appropriate curriculum content in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) for a Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) course. Doctors with a background in primary care who were also involved in undergraduate teaching rated how necessary they considered a number of knowledge, skills and attitudes items were for inclusion in the CAP curriculum.
Open access. Medical student and resident participation in short-term international trips for trainees (STINTTs) has increased in the past few decades. However, there has been no systematic review of trainees’ actual ethical experiences. The authors sought to identify what ethical issues medical trainees encounter during STINTTs, as elicited by and reported in peer-reviewed, quantitative and qualitative research papers.
