Dear All

I will be attending an SAC meeting on 23rd July in Edinburgh which is about the
ISCP curriculum for Paediatric Surgery.

As you are probably aware PMETB have asked all 9 surgical specialities to create
and finalise thier curriculae by September 2009. These curriculae are the ISCP
syllabuses that our training is based on, and they are created by the SAC. The
paediatric surgical curriculum can be found at:

http://www.iscp.ac.uk/syllabus/overview.aspx?Spec=PS

The curriculum is pretty exhaustive but is still a work in progress. The purpose
of the SAC meeting next week is to finalise the document and discuss it's
implementation.

I need to know what the trainee body view is on the curriculum.

Specifically I welcome your opinions on 3 things:

1. The content of the curriculum. Good and bad points. How it is set out, is it
too much or any ommissions.

2. The ISCP website. Is it easy to use or not. Any comments on how it could be
improved.

3. Work Based Assessments. Comments on the number of them that need to be
completed, how easy they are to use, the range of operations/procedures
available for assessment etc. and how useful as a learning tool you find them.

This is your chance to influence the curriculum, how the ISCP website is used as
a teaching tool and how you are assessed. You can tell me your views through
this forum or e-mail me directly.

Let me know

Charlie
