Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training

Background:

  • Reduced junior doctor working hours impact surgical training duration.
  • A need exists for high-quality basic surgical training and formal assessments.
  • Competence development is crucial during shortened training periods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze current assessment and appraisal practices for basic surgical trainees.
  • Focus on the South East Wales region's training environment.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey was distributed to basic surgical trainees.
  • Data collected from trainees in the South East Wales region.

Main Results:

  • 23% of trainees lacked formal assessment in at least one post.

  • 70% of trainees did not receive regular appraisals during most posts.
  • Significant variations in assessment and appraisal rates across surgical specialties were observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Formal assessment practices for basic surgical trainees require enhancement.
    • Current appraisal systems are significantly insufficient.
    • Development of clear guidelines for appraisals is essential to improve training quality.
