Training Hospital of the Year 2018

The In Training Survey.

Last year saw the new shield for Training Hospital of the Year going to West Suffolk Hospital, and trainer of the year going to Mr Bowditch.

Who will win these highly prestigious titles this year?

We have engineered a points scoring system to scientific award the training hospital of the year prize! Points will be awarded to hospitals based on registrars training feedback and experience.  Data is to be collected on operative exposure, clinic experience, teaching experience, and attainment of indicative procedures.  This data will be crunched through some high powered stats and a winner will be announced at the Cambridge Orthopaedic Club meeting.

What do I need to do?

The survey will take 10 – 15 mins to complete. You will need to have access to elogbook to complete it.  You will be asked questions about your previous 2 placements on the rotation (if you only started in October then please wait till the next survey).

Trainers?

Please push your trainees to ensure they are completing the survey to give your trust in the best possible chance of winning!
