Dr Will Townend
Mr Bob Taylor
Dr Anna Olsson-Brown
Mrs Claire Coomber (facilitator)

Session objectives:

• Delegates will understand the changes in delivery to postgraduate examinations in response to Covid-19
• Delegates will gain an appreciation of the different learning and assessment opportunities which arise in the workplace
• Delegates will understand the need to embed new models of clinical assessment into the workplace more effectively

Session summary:
The pandemic has meant that many postgraduate written exams have moved to remote delivery.  As we move to remote consultations, assessing how we interact with patients on a day to day basis will become more important, and there is a need to professionalise competencies and strengthen the perceived value of assessment within the workplace.
