| Popis: | Aims The primary aim of this study was to audit the experience of core surgical trainees in operating theatres with a view to devise some interventions to improve the quality of theatre experience. Methods This study was a prospective audit that involved filling out a set proforma by all core surgical trainees working in a busy surgical department of a tertiary care university hospital. The proforma included a breakdown of questions to signpost indicators of quality experience and check compliance with the Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST) guidelines. It was completed with particular consideration given to the experience while trainees were on their CEPOD week to facilitate accuracy and relevance of feedback. Results 8 core surgical trainees filled out the proforma. 75% of trainees had the opportunity to reflect the case with the senior surgeon. Lowest compliance was shown for pre-operative discussion of crucial learning points with the senior surgeon. Only 50% of trainees had a chance to do a briefing pre-operatively which is one of the JCST quality indicator for core surgical trainees. Conclusion This audit demonstrates the potential for improvement in the operating theatre experience of junior surgical trainees considering JCST Quality Improvement indicators. A checklist may be introduced to achieve maximum utilisation of the finite training opportunities available to current junior surgical trainees. A loop closing audit after the checklist will be able to assess the change in practice and theatre experience. |
