Trainer – Registrar Education and Assessment Toolkit

What do you want to do with your registrar today?

I want to find out what the rest of the practice think of the registrar

 

There are three tools you can use

 

1. Peer Review Form

This is a simple guided questionnaire seeking feedback on performance which would be useful for all registrars (and supervisors!)

 

2. Staff Trainee Assessment Rating (STAR)

This is a series of statements to which staff put how much they agree or disagree with subsequent space for guided comments for feedback. This is useful for all registrars, especially those who like rating scales!

 

3. 360 Degree Appraisal

This anonymous questionnaire asks practice staff questions regarding the behaviour of the registrar in the following areas:

· Problem solving, making a diagnosis, management plans

· Emergency care

· Working within limits of competence

· Attitude to and relationship with patients

· Working with colleagues

· Probity

· Health issues that may affect practice

It is a scoring system, so does not allow much free comment. It is probably most useful for a registrar who is thought to be underperforming, to collect evidence on whether this is the case.

 

There are some other forms for 360 degree appraisal available on the web. They cover very similar ground to these.
