Collecting the Evidence

What is the evidence

Minimm Review requirements

How often do I have to submit the evidence and how many do I have to do


In order for the educational supervisor to be in a position to monitor the progress of their GP trainee in the twelve work place based assessment professional competence areas, information relating to their performance needs to be collected throughout the training period using these tools:

  • Case-based Discussion (CBD)

  • Consultation Observation (COT) in primary care or Mini-CEX in secondary care

  • Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS)

  • Multi-Source Feedback (MSF)

  • Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ)

  • Clinical Supervisors’ Reports (CSR) when in secondary care

Results for the MSF and PSQ will be entered on-line with results appearing later in the eportfolio. The other tools will be completed by the trainer, clinical or educational supervisor and will contribute to the eportfolio which is then used, in its totality, to support judgments made at the interim and final reviews.

Each tool (form) once completed will be filed in the eportfolio. It will be automatically tagged under the appropriate competence area headings so that the results and free text comments are brought up during the interim and final reviews. In addition, the trainer or supervisor will also have the opportunity to file items under a content heading as well.
