Created jointly by Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare (HEE e-LfH) the Joint Royal College of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB), the programme aims to set out how to write a meaningful and effective Educational Supervisor Report (ESR) for Internal Medicine training. This module sets out how to prepare to write an ESR, considered by the Annual Review of Competency Progression (ARCP) panel when assessing a trainee’s progress, starting with the initial meeting with the trainee, planning the training year and gives examples of good report writing.

This e-learning package is aimed at educational supervisors of internal medicine trainees and covers the following areas:

– The ESR

– Capabilities in Practice (CiPs)

– Evidence

– Setting up the Training Year

– Some elements of the ARCP

Supporting Trainers, Supporting Doctors, Supporting Patients

In 2018–2019 the HEE Foundation Programme Review heard evidence

from a wide range of stakeholders, including foundation doctors,

about the difficulties faced by those entering foundation training from

medical school. A number of recommendations were made and this

pack outlines progress and contains practical information to assist with

implementation.
