Why Paediatrics, Why Yorkshire?
New presentation coming soon showing the great reasons to do paediatric training in Yorkshire!
Feedback
The School of Paediatrics wants to improve the feed back given to trainees. Following the GMC survey, feedback was the area scored highest by paediatric trainees in HEYH.
We want to improve this and are enocuraging trainers across the region to focus on this practice over the next year.
Trainees in Leeds/Hull have investigated this locally and suggestions for change were:
1. Trainees would like more feedback after ward rounds or clinics
2. Feedback made trainees feel valued and gave them a guide to know how they are doing
3. Regular time for feedback- consider drop in sessions.
RCPCH Trainee Paediatric Research Network
Are you a paediatric trainee passionate about research, or looking to get involved? Join our Task and Finish Group to set up a Trainee Paediatric Research Network!
To support trainees to undertake research, the RCPCH is convening a Task and Finish Group to lead on developing an overarching Trainee Paediatric Research Network. This network will aim to bring together existing regional paediatric research networks across the UK to:
- Increase opportunities for trainees to conduct research
- Provide peer support and guidance
- Support trainees to develop research skills
- Allow conception and coordination of pan-UK projects
The Task and Finish Group is open to applications from paediatric trainees who are keen to help develop this network.
Applications to the Task and Finish Group close on Monday 16 March 2020, 09:30.
For further information and to apply, visit: www.rcpch.ac.uk/trainee-research-network.
