Don’t miss out a very useful SCE revision course.
23rd of March- Online (see link below).
Don’t miss out on the respiratory TD this year.
Dates are:
3-4/10
1-2/12
As it stands, the October one will be virtual but we are pushing hard to get back to face-to-face/ hybrid version.
The new curriculums for respiratory and general internal medicine are starting in August 2022, to coincide with the end of the first year of IMT3. There is a lot of information available about this on the JRCPTB website, including on the JRCPTB transition page here.
Everyone will be expected to transition to the new curriculum except those in ST7 in August 2022. Once we rotate in August, the ES should perform a gap analysis (form available on eportfolio) to credit current training onto new portfolio, and identify current learning needs.
Summary of curriculum meeting hosted by the JRCPTB:
The main additional requirement for current trainees will be to undertake 20 clinics in a medical speciality other than parent one over 4 years
Single CCT in respiratory medicine will no longer be available (it was very rare previously anyway). However triple accreditation with Respiratory/GIM/ICM will now be possible.
Same eportfolio platform (NHS Eportfolios) but with new forms.
Trainees will not be required to re link of transfer evidence.
Good luck everyone!
