Session title:
How do we use WPBA and what the future might hold?
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
While on-the-job evaluation of trainees (and specialists) is far from new, WPBAs, now supervised learning events (SLEs), are 15 years old. We review what they have taught us in postgraduate education and consider how this may evolve in the future to recognise learning and direct development across the professional spectrum
Learning Objectives
Objectives
Apply data that supports flexibility of SLEs to one’s own setting Break down the utility of SLEs and channel their use in one’s own setting Challenge one’s existing perceptions of SLEs and consider opportunities for their use in the future
Session theme:
Assessment of learning
Does your session specifically target a particular group?
No
Preferred session delivery:
Face to face
Preferred session format:
Symposia / panel discussion
Unlimited number of attendees
Yes
Have you presented this in the UK this year?
No
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
We w ill use survey tools at the start of the panel to identify how the audience currently uses SLEs and at the end of the panel to see how this has changed. The last session will be a Q&A session led by speakers who have contributed to the session. (We will have 3 speakers but I can only confirm 2 on this submission – the 3rd will be a trainee)
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Guidance and shared examples of SLEs, as established tools, can be used to drive learning authentically in reliable ways. Understanding how SLEs can add value to existing strategies in medical education and integrate their use with summative assessments when determining competence to allow progression. Appreciation of how formative tools that focus on feedback and the narrative of learning can build evidence.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
We shall include a trainee as a panel member, as stakeholders in SLEs, but also increasingly as agents for change and education-minded professionals

What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
This is a topic that is often a professional learning need, but is often an “unknown unknown” for many medical professionals, in primary care and in hospital settings. It is often misunderstood, and incorrect information given to breastfeeding parents. It has public health ramifications, and as a country we have some of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world. Our interactions with our patiens can have a huge impact on a breastfeeding journey – this in turn has ramifications on cost to the NHS, improving outcomes in those who have lower socio-economic backgrounds, and the long term health of our population.

Session title:
Reclaiming the Soul of Medical Education
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Don Berwick describes three eras of medicine, era 3 being the moral era. We are a group of multi-specialty senior educators who are part of a national conversation about the philosophical underpinnings of era 3 medicine and its implementation in medical education. We want to continue the discussion here.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. Understand what is meant by era 3 approaches to medical education and the link with generalism and with prevention of burnout. 2. Consider approaches in medical education which are conducive to era 3 medicine and what needs to change in order for this to be possible. 3. Consider practical changes that could be made to translate theory into practice

This is by its nature an interactive workshop, in which participants will be encouraged to contribute to generate further meaning and understanding. We will use techniques such as goldfish bowls, reflecting teams, polls (on the few slides we will have) and we will have the chairs arranged in a horseshoe configuration. The facilitators are from a range of medical specialties (respiratory medicine, psychiatry, paediatrics and general practice), thus broadening the appeal of the workshop.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
As educators, we contend with high rates of attrition and burnout in our learners. Era 3 practices may reverse this trend, as well as reducing moral injury and improving efficiency. This is an exciting opportunity to reimagine our current approach to training.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
We will run the proposed content by trainees in our various specialties for their opinion and comment before presenting.

General practices is arguably under its greatest threat in its history, yet its crucial importance to the health of the nation has never been greater. By re-visiting the ‘Essence’ work now some 15 years on, and updating its core features, we hope to inspire and energize doctors in training to consider a career in general practices as well as those already on the path of general practice training and practice. We also plan to publish a new version of the ‘Essence’ from this and other workshops we will hold across the UK
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
We would be happy to involve early career researchers, by inviting them to consider how the ‘Essence’ might be researched and evaluated. The workshop lead, Professor Stewart Mercer is an academic GP with a strong research backgroumd.

The session will employ a number of interactive techniques and will provide principles which will allow participants to apply the learning directly to their own practice. There will be polls during the initial presentation, then there will be tasks which participants will complete alone, then in pairs, then small groups (snowballing). There will be opportunities to find common themes from the participants using stand up/sit down methods and then facilitated questioning There will be an open Q&A at the end of the workshop using apps or direct questions in the room.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
The NHS and healthcare systems around the globe have recognised the contribution of healthcare to climate change, and the opportunity for the healthcare community to be powerful voices in escalating the pace of change. Many healthcare systems have committed to Net Zero and yet there remains a disconnect between this aspiration and the realities of day to day practice. Education is a powerful driver of change. Equipping DEMEC attendees with the knowledge and tools to integrate teaching about climate change and health into their day to day teaching has the potential to spread change far and wide, and catalyse a culture change in healthcare and beyond.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
The workshop will be facilitated by members of the Medact Health for a Green New Deal group. This is a skilled group of medical professionals across professions and stage of training.

“Less is more” – Working together to enhance flexible training in postgraduate medical education
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
With the number of flexible trainees rising we share 3 years of work representing over 500 flexible trainees in our postgraduate school. Through interactive discussion we shall explore frequently arising topics such as rostering, pay and accessing leave. The session will be jointly facilitated by trainees and a TPD.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. To better understand common issues affecting flexible trainees and those who support, train and employ them. 2. To explore ideas about how best to support flexible trainees in participants’ own settings. 3. To develop ideas, collaborate and share good practice on the topic of flexible training.

Have you presented this in the UK this year?
No
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
We will start by sharing our work within the London School of Paediatrics then branch out to hearing views from participants via interactive polling on people’s experience of supporting flexible trainees or training flexibly. Through a series of smaller group case discussions we will start to explore some of the common challenges that arise when managing training for LTFT trainees. We will provide a forum for sharing ideas and good practice. We will signpost attendees to some of the resources developed by our group including a website with FAQs and a flexible training guide as well as guidance on running flexible training advice clinics.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Flexible working is becoming more and more common amongst doctors. In London almost 50% of all paediatric trainees now train flexibly. This percentage has increased significantly in the last few years particularly amongst those choosing to work less than full time in order to promote their work life balance and activities outside of medicine. With increasing awareness of the impact of burnout and the need to improve working lives for all healthcare professionals we hope to be able to share our experiences and help others who seek to improve flexible training and working opportunities in postgraduate medical education and beyond.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
We would be interested in meeting anyone planning research in the area of flexible training and would be happy to discuss what we have learned with them.

Session title:
Towards integration for chronic conditions: exploring the potential of interprofessional simulation
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
This interactive and thought-provoking session will draw out expertise in the room and build on the facilitators’ experience organising an ambitious cross-specialty teaching day on chronic pain and iatrogenic opioid dependence. We will present a novel simulated time-travel approach which highlights the roles of different clinical interactions in patient journeys.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
To appreciate the limitations of specialty-specific teaching for certain chronic conditions. To know what kind of content is necessary to write a series of simulated scenarios that allow clinicians to better understand the patient’s journey and their role in this. To consider the potential implications of the above in the participants’ own educational practice.

Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
We will use the conference app polling system to understand the backgrounds of the session participants and personalise the discussion accordingly. Although the session will include a couple of brief presentations (topics: the journey of a patient with chronic pain and the challenges this exemplifies for integrated care; brief overview of the interprofessional teaching day on chronic pain and iatrogenic opioid dependence delivered in May 2023), the workshop will be mainly structured around small and large group discussions in the room. The questions explored through group discussion will include: ‘which patient groups would benefit from professionals having a better understanding of the part they each play in the patient journey?’ and ‘how to get buy in from professional groups who may not appreciate the importance of their role in the patient journey?’. For the latter question, we will use the real life example of trying to recruit Internal Medical Trainees to attend a teaching day on chronic pain, how the teaching day was transformative in their practice of managing acute pain, but also a reflection of how this was an unknown unknown for them.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
DEMEC attendees will have an excellent opportunity to network with others who share similar interests. Participants will hopefully be inspired to identify areas where patient care could be improved through greater integration and appreciation of the whole patient journey and they will come away from the session with some tools and considerations that should help them plan teaching in this area, should they chose to do so.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
This session will be led by an early career researcher: Dr Vaccari started her clinical career as an Academic Foundation doctor, before becoming an Academic Clinical Fellow in General Adult Psychiatry. Rather than pursuing the traditional route of PhD and Academic Clinical Lecturer position in psychiatry, she chose to focus instead on Medical Education, completing a Master degree with Maastricht University. She is continuing her research involvement by supervising the projects of intercalated BMedSci students at the University of Southampton.

The session will begin with a brief overview of the principles of blended learning, education 3.0 and heutagogy. We will describe our pedagogy for blended learning design, which is based on Diana Laurillard’s conversational framework and incorporates technology, simulation including XR and the humanities. There will be opportunities for questions from the audience throughout, and we will use interactive tools (such as Mentimeter) to encourage further audience participation. Participants will then be given the opportunity to work in small groups to apply this pedagogy to outline the design of a blended learning module. There will be an opportunity after this for the small groups to feed back some of the key aspects of their blended learning module design into the wider workshop group, at which point we can collectively identify how many of the conversational framework activities have been used in that session.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Benefits to DEMEC attendees: 1) increase awareness and knowledge of blended learning 2) opportunity to apply the conversational framework principles to start developing their own blended learning module during the workshop 3) gain insight into one of the ways NHS England is trying to address placement capacity issues in primary care Benefits to institution: 1) opportunity to answer any questions about NHS England team’s experience of designing and delivering this programme. 2) increasing participants’ awareness of one of NHS England’s innovative approaches to education 3) discuss upcoming opportunities for expansion of proof of concept with education providers who may be interested in participating Benefits to medical / healthcare community: 1) Explores how innovative blended learning methods help us prepare learners for independent practice in family medicine 2) address capacity issues in primary care placements and hence supports the GP training expansion programme
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
There is an opportunity to bring some points for discussion to the workshop with those who are interested, such as looking at the best and most engaging way to structure blended learning. There may also be scope to review the proof of concept evaluation.

We will deliver our regional data around the LTFT, OOP and flexible working patterns of Doctors in Training. We will use a poll to assess participant knowledge in advance. Using workshops we will discuss the various stakeholder perspectives and develop a suite of resources and guidance for colleagues across the healthcare education community
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Everyone involved in medical education & training will recognise the increasing numbers of DiT who are wanting to work and train flexibly and who seek out additional opportunities for training, experience for well founded and varied reasons. Trainers and doctors report concerns in maintaining relationships, optimising opportunities effectively and with equity. This move to increased flexible working also impacts on services and increasing reports from employers describe challenges around how to staff a safe service. We want to bring our regional experience of the current picture, hear from participants of innovative ways in which this can be managed and hope to bring together suggestions of how to optimise flexibility and LTFT for a sustainable and well trained future workforce.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
There may be a number of research questions arising from this session that we would look to offer to education fellows or researchers to explore.

The is a discursive event; we seek to share our experiences [including the process, the influencing and inhibiting factors, and the feedback] whilst facilitating a shared discussion which draws in the experience of the audience. By its very nature, this event seeks to promote equity of voices and seeks to be a collaborative event. A poster abstract has also been submitted regarding this event.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
The merits of co-production will be discussed; both between faculty and students, but also between those within the medical school and those who are external. The workshop will explore how educators can develop reflexive learning by creating environments which are open and supportive, whilst challenging students to think in ways in which they may not be familiar with. The merits of utilising the creative arts- as an additional channel of communication- for topics which some may find difficult to articulate will also be discussed.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
This event has been developed by those on teaching [non research] contracts and medical students, along with professional service colleagues.

This session will start with a brief presentation to set the scene and ensure participants have baseline knowledge about the programme. We will invite questions. We will then share the outcomes from the implementation of the initial distribution specialties. We will hear from participants about their experiences and concerns. There will be an opportunity to have an in-depth conversation about these experiences/concerns to allow participants to learn from the facilitators and one another about the programme and its implications on postgraduate training. We will have a panel made up of the workshop facilitators, comprised of programme leadership (giving the strategic perspective), clinical advisors (giving the clinical and operational perspective), and a leadership fellow/trainee (giving the trainee and stakeholder perspective). This will be a Q&A type panel facilitated by another one of the workshop facilitators.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
This NHS England programme will have impact in training programmes across England. It will allow the opportunity for Postgraduate Deans, Heads of School, Training Programme Directors, Directors of Medical Education, other medical education leaders, educators, postgraduate doctors, and any other interested individuals to understand the programme, hear an update, contribute perspectives, and consider how it may impact them in their local context. It will therefore help participants plan medical training and workforce planning for the future. It will benefit NHS England as it will help us understand the impact on various stakeholders and incorporate this into our planning. This will ensure the programme works for as many stakeholders as possible in the best way possible. More widely, the discussion about the programme may help other geographies, be it the Devolved Nations or beyond, consider how a similar programme may look for them.

Session title:
Creating educational capacity in an everchanging training landscape – the methods, barriers, and drivers
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Expansion and redistribution of training posts requires a parallel expansion in educational supervision capacity. NHS England commenced a programme to expand supervision capacity through implementing innovative pilots and developing an Educator Toolbox. This workshop will equip regional leaders with the skills and knowledge to consider supervision capacity expansion programmes locally.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. To learn about the innovative educational supervision capacity pilots and case studies, with a focus on the barriers and drivers. 2. To learn about and have the opportunity to shape the Educator Toolbox. 3. To understand and apply the Educator Toolbox and learning from the pilots to local contexts, considering the local barriers and drivers.

We will commence the workshop with a brief overview of the pilots and case studies as well as introduce the toolbox. We will invite questions from participants about these. We will then ask participants to share any innovative supervision programmes they have locally and consider the barriers/drivers of doing this. We will facilitate a discussion around these to synthesise the themes which will be incorporated into the toolbox. We will then ask participants to consider in groups, depending on the audience size of the workshop, what educational supervision initiatives would be possible in their local contexts. This will be fed back to the wider group to allow wider learning and refinement of ideas. The panel will be made up of one of the pilot leads, clinical advisors, a postgraduate dean, and a leadership fellow/trainee who worked on the pilot evaluations – therefore the facilitated discussion will cover many different perspectives, further reinforcing learning.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
As expansion and redistribution of postgraduate doctor training posts increases, there will be a need to increase educational supervision capacity. However, there often aren’t enough Consultant staff to take up these roles. Therefore, this workshop provides a facilitated and collaborative information sharing session, to allow regions to consider what they can do locally to increase capacity and prevent “reinventing the wheel” whilst considering the local context is important for any initiative to be successful. It will therefore be particularly helpful to Directors of Medical Education, Training Programme Directors, and Heads of School. However, any medical education leader or educator will find it helpful to understand solutions to increase educational supervision capacity. It will be helpful to NHS England to share the successes and barriers of the pilots and case studies to help others implement what works and prevent what doesn’t. This will in turn contribute to the improvement of the quality of postgraduate medical education.

All participants will be invited to use the chat function to introduce themselves and share their level of experience with IPE (e.g. as a learner, educator or leader in education). The use of the online Q&A function is encouraged throughout. The Warwick team will share their own experience as a springboard for reflecting together on best practice in designing IPE activities. We will share 10 top tips for a successful project, based on best evidence. On several occasions during the workshop the group will engage in activities, e.g: – An anonymous quiz/poll on current practice in IPE – A minute of personal reflection on the value of IPE in their own educational context followed by a few minutes of sharing their thoughts with each other (either in the larger group or, if available, in breakout rooms). – A group discussion on drivers and barriers for IPE (participants encouraged to unmute and speak OR use the chat box to contribute to the conversation, with workshop lead moderating). – Suggestions and success stories from the group, e.g. on engaging stakeholders and management – A small group discussion on planning an appropriate evaluation for an IPE learning activity – A few minutes of individual activity starting to create a project plan At the end we will take time for a dedicated question & answer session to mop up any remaining questions from the online Q&A session or questions asked directly via unmuting the mike.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Attendees will be equipped to start their own project plan for an IPE activity in their own educational context, identifying positive drivers for success and identifying and addressing barriers. The wider community will benefit from an extended drive to foster interprofessional learning, both within the healthcare professions and connecting healthcare with the wider society beyond.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
The Warwick team includes early career researchers. We will share our own experience with creating an IPE activity and the pitfalls around funding and appropriate evaluation that can make all the difference to the scholarship of teaching and learning. At every stage of the workshop attendees are also encouraged to share their personal experiences with the breakout group/wider group and ask questions specific to their context in education or education research.
