Assessment forms 2010


There are several changes to the number of required workplace assessments following development of the 2010 curriculum. Trainees who began ACCS prior to 2010 should consult their local deanery on which curriculum and assessment requirements they should follow. All trainees begining ACCS training from August 2010 should follow the 2010 curriculum & assessment schedule.

Anaesthesia


Initial assessment of competence (IAC): must be completed over the first three months of anaesthesia training and untill successfully completed a trainee may not work without direct supervision. Some deaneries may have specific paperwork for completion of the IAC, others can use the Royal College of Anaesthetists paperwork (found on the RCOA website). For trainees with anaesthesia as a parent speciality additional assessments on failed intubation may be necessary for the IAC while in ACCS clarification should be obtained from a local educational supervisor. All anaesthetic assessments are summative and compulsory during the anaesthesia module of ACCS:
