Procedures & Skills Competency Assessments - DOPs and WCAs

Prior to undertaking any procedures unsupervised, you need to be “credentialled” by one of the Intensivists or have College documentation of a previous successful assessment of your ability.

We encourage all trainees to keep a log book of procedures. For junior doctors registered with a college, please use the documents required by your college for assessment purposes.  Please send a copy of completed forms to Emma Broadfield.  Once a registrar is deemed competent to undertake an unsupervised procedure, they can then teach and supervise the residents in a similar manner.  The number of completed procedures required to be deemed 'competent' is addressed at a case-by-case basis depending on the performance of the junior doctor.
