National Deanery Teaching Programme

Core team:

  • North: Sarah McRobbie                
  • East: Kirsty Brown
  • South East: Jennifer Allison, Laura Stirrat, Katherine Rankin
  • West: Sarah Barr, Christy Lamont

The aim of the National Deanery Teaching Programme (NDTP) is to deliver accessible, flexible, high quality virtual teaching through MS Teams. The content is mapped to the 2019 RCOG curriculum and covers aspects of the Capabilities in Practice (CiPs) that are more difficult to attain in every day clinical practice. The programme will focus on the specialist knowledge and skills available in each region and will be delivered as a full day of teaching. Study leave can be applied for through TURAS and your rota coordinator. If you are unable to attend the session in real time, the sessions will be recorded and are available retrospectively. You can request flexible study leave to watch these recordings at a later date. To request access to the NDTP channel on MS Teams, please contact Christy Lamont (Muriel.lamont@nhs.scot)

Central Belt Journal Club

Wednesday 10th January 2024

Wednesday 13th March 2024

Friday 3rd May 2024

Friday 14th June 2024

 

Contact: cheryl.dunlop@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk.

A Central Belt Journal Club, organised by a small group of South-East and West trainees, occurs approximately monthly on Fridays via Microsoft Teams.  A trainee presents a recent paper that is clinically relevant to our practice, with subsequent discussion supervised by a Consultant.  It is a great opportunity to learn about up-to-date evidence in our specialty and gain experience in critical appraisal.  Certificates are available for both presenters and attendees, which are excellent for evidencing research skills on your ePortfolio.  All trainees are welcome.  If you have read a really interesting paper recently and/or would like to present at a meeting, please contact Cheryl Dunlop at cheryl.dunlop@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk.

We hope to see you (virtually) soon!
