Workplace-based assessment - 15 May 2025 - Online
A 1-day workplace-based assessment workshop that provides an overview of the assessment methods regularly used to assess performance in the workplace, and will help develop confidence in using them fairly and effectively.
Workplace-based assessments provide an opportunity to observe, rate and feedback upon aspects of a trainee doctor's practice that are best observed in the authentic clinical environment. Typically, the assessments consist of structured forms which direct the assessor's attention towards particular aspects of clinical practice, such as communication skills, procedural skills and clinical judgement.
Important information prior to an online workshop
Online events include small group discussions and interactive activities. Delegates will get the maximum benefit by being able to fully participate. This means:
- When making your booking we recommend you use an email associated with a Microsoft account. We require delegates to be logged into a Microsoft account to be able to fully participate in small group discussions and interactive activities. You will also need to be logged in to Microsoft for the RCP systems to recognise you and be able to issue you with a Certificate of Attendance.
- Some organisations’ security settings make it difficult to fully participate. If you have previously experienced issues accessing slides, video, audio, or breakout rooms whilst in Teams, please speak to your IT department prior to the event to troubleshoot.
- You can also contact the RCP to test-run the connections prior to the event. Most NHS accounts are linked to a Microsoft account and generally do not experience issues using Teams. Often home/personal emails are not linked to Microsoft and may not allow full participation.
- You will have the best experience joining the event using a desktop or laptop. Mobile phones and tablets typically do not allow full participation. For best results ensure your device is up-to date with any required software updates.
- You will need a microphone and a camera to fully participate.
This course is suitable to doctors of all grades and specialties, including trainees.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- recognise the differences, and the relationships, between assessment and appraisal
- use appropriate methods of assessment in a way that ensures reliability, validity, transparency, feasibility and educational impact
provide good quality, useful feedback - identify and maximise opportunities for workplace-based assessments
- overcome problems related to the assessment process.
