NW School of

Deaneries, North Western

& Mersey

education & training with

responsibility for over 7,000 trainees

• Process of aligning activity

• Currently still two Schools of

Psychiatry

– Psychiatry trainees in the NW - 120 Core

trainees, similar No of HST


NW School of

Psychiatry

The NW School of Psychiatry


NW School of

Psychiatry

Background to MRCPsych Course

• Historically delivered via Manchester University

• 30 day MRCPsych course

• Delivered over 2 year period

• Has been running for more than three decades

• In the last three years the course moved towards blended learning,

distant learning, face to face and periods of private study

• Summer 2013 - £3,500 per trainee per year, due to

increase for 2014...

• Termination of contract by the Deanery in 2013

Point of no return, hence opportunity for a new NHS

developed and locally delivered programme


NW School of

Psychiatry

From September 2014

• No University run course for CT1s

• CT2 trainees to continue on the University course. Last

cohort completed in the of summer 2015

• No extra money

• NHS had to provide the training

New NHS run course for CT1 had to start September 2014


NW School of

Psychiatry

Setting up the Course…

• Commenced in Post 1.4.14 - 1 day a week secondment

• Studied core curriculum, examination, Wessex NHS run

course, Mersey University course & Manchester

University course - April 2014

• Phase 1 completed by July 2014

• Phase 2 commenced September 2014


NW School of

Psychiatry

Consultation May – June 2014

• CT/STs currently on the course or who had recently

completed the University MRCPsych

• Site tutors as a group, some individually, School

Operational Board, DMEs – across the patch of 9

Trusts

• MHSC, GMW, Pennine Care, Lancashire Care,

Cumbria, CMFT, 5BP, Macclesfield and Calderstones

• One half day (tutors/CTPD) and 1 full day (included all

interested parties)


NW School of

Psychiatry

Consultation Findings

• Considerable variations in training provided by different

LEPs

• Some really excellent models of training e.g. 555

presentation

• In some LEPs – there was variation between own sites

• Psychotherapy training - Met the College requirement 30

sessions of Balint group, one long case and one short

case in two different modalities. Again delivery varied

across LEPs

• No consistency & parity in training

Though every body was keen & trying their best and

there was a lot of enthusiasm for training on all sites


NW School of

Psychiatry

Disconnection & Variation

Between:

• Learning in the Placement

• Educational Supervisor supervision

• LEP Programme

• University run course

• Psychotherapy

• MRCPsych examination


NW School of

Psychiatry

Outcome

Curriculum Development

• Subgroup established in June 2014 (recommendation, major

educational role)

• LEP Programme/Handbooks/Website operational by

August 2014

Delivery

• LEP programme to commence September 2014

• Academic course to commence September 2014 for CT1

• Evaluation


NW School of

Psychiatry

New Course Principles

• Psychiatrists are medically qualified doctors with a

specialism in Psychiatry

• Adult learning principles

• Achievement of core skills for core trainees:

– Training close to patients, learning from patients, learning from ES,

in MDT, in the LEP Programme

• What cannot be done locally in placements – done

centrally e.g. academic day, exam preparation

• Good practice on sites incorporated - 555, psychotherapy

• Training offered on different sites are now comparable &

measurable


NW School of

Psychiatry

New Course Aims To:

• Reconnect the four training strands:

– Educational Supervisor supervision

– LEP run weekly sessions

– Academic course at the Medical Education, School of Psychiatry

(replaced the “University run course)”

– Psychotherapy

• And link them to:

– MRCPsych examination

• Achieving:

– “Consistency/parity across sites and increase depth of knowledge”

to address differences in training provision across LEP’s


NW School of

Psychiatry

Some Parallels To:

• PBL for Medical students in Manchester

• Run on different sites with the same PBL format with PBL trained

Doctors

• Have handbooks prepared by a committee that PBL tutors follow –

handbook for tutors and handbook for students

• Students do have some lectures centrally – e.g. statistics during

their Project Option etc etc…

Discussion with Manchester Medical School lead for PBL re:

how the University reviewed its PBL teaching

NW School of

• Pivotal in training of trainees, hence have to be well supported

• Know the curriculum and know what the exam is about

• Clear about competencies and training requirements of core

trainees in their placement

• Educational supervision – to achieve consistency across the

region - clinical and educational supervisor

• ES being able to link the trainees learning – LEP, MRCPsych,

Psychotherapy etc in educational supervision

Points for us to consider –how we do this – in LEPs, across

LEPs by pooling of resources across LEPs, this will start

this Summer

Educational Supervisors

Formal Evaluation


NW School of

Psychiatry

There were a few sleepless nights….

• Main challenge was “fear of change and uncertainty”, “we

get good feedback from trainees, what we do is very

good, why should we change?”

• For me - having a Belief, to Listen, Develop, Change &

Support & convince people it will work

• Some rather difficult views, thankfully in the minority

• The very tight timescale – April to July 2014 to

organise, convince providers and deliver

The Challenges - 2014


NW School of

Psychiatry

Positives • All trainees access same teaching regardless of Trust.

• Expert resources pooled across the NW

• Holding one event rather than 3+ in some trusts saves time

and money…

• Consultants across the NW contributed to the

development/delivery not just a few academics at the

University

• closer links to the exam

• ES’s feel more connected to the MRCPsych training

• Presentations are much closer linked to the

curriculum/exams/syllabus than the University course

which often felt detached – as commented by a university

course trainee


NW School of

Psychiatry

Positives cont…

• ES’s feel more connected to the MRCPsych

training

• Presentations are much closer linked to the

curriculum/exams/syllabus - University course

often felt detached – as commented by a

university course trainee

• School much more involved with trainee

development/progress - therefore rapid access

to TPD/HoS or Trusts when required to resolve

issues - health issues, excessive on call etc,

patterns emerge…


NW School of

Psychiatry

Challenges • Trainees feedback - Being on call and missing some of these sessions – want these

sessions to be protected as this is their study leave

• MCQs not being done in LEPP routinely

• General adult – LEP 24 sessions over two years. To do the expert led sessions on

time, though we have got better at this. Agreeing to do it and not arriving on time

• Academic programme – Psychosexual and eating disorders

• Some speakers wanting to be paid

• Across the ages topics – need re-thinking

• More admin time was funded in year two, still not enough

• Up keep of the website

• Feedback forms had to be re-designed

• Small number of trainees in some sites

• Not all expertise available in some sites e.g. forensic

• New challenges that need to be looked at e.g. Communication workshops etc

• Working together will really help these challenges


NW School of

Psychiatry

Comments from a DME…

• Trainees say meets educational needs better

• Trainees spend more time in the clinical

placement – learning on the job!

• Teaching more organised and planned

• Excellent resources available on the school

website

• We learn from each other…


NW School of

Psychiatry

Comment from a Consultant

Human beings, generally are not made for change
