RCA Saturdays

I just wanted to make you aware of the new RCA Saturdays that we will be running from December 2020 to March 2021.

Each RCA Saturday session will consist of a 2-hour small group training session (4 trainees/group) with an experienced RCA examiner carried out over Microsoft Teams.  Trainees will be asked to bring a recorded patient consultation (audio or video) which they are able to be able to share and discuss in the small group. Prior to each session, trainees will be sent a presentation giving an overview of the RCA and there will be an opportunity for Q&A during the training.

We recommend that trainees book the RCA Saturday session 2-3 months before they plan to sit the RCA to give them a chance to respond to any feedback received. We have written out to all ST3 trainees this week but would also ask that you encourage your trainees to book a place.  

If any trainees have not received the invite email for any reason, they can book a place by contacting jamie.whittle@hee.nhs.uk. 

If you have any further questions about the RCA Saturdays, please get in touch.
