◦ - Teaching, training, appraising and assessing doctors and
students are important for the care of patients now and in the
future. You should be willing to contribute to these activities.
◦ - If you are involved in teaching you must develop the skills,
attitudes and practices of a competent teacher.
◦ - You must make sure that all staff, for whom you are
responsible, including locums and students, are properly
supervised.
◦ - You must be honest and objective when appraising or assessing
the performance of colleagues, including locums and students.
Patients will be put at risk if you describe as competent someone
who has not reached or maintained a satisfactory standard of
practice.
Wessex Trainees have access to a teaching
course.

something simply enough then it is
unlikely that you understand it well
enough”
Albert Einstein
Mr Mark Szymankiewicz, Dr Lucy Sykes
Deanery Supervisor: Dr Rosie Lusznat
Cultivate trainees’ med. ed. experience
Aimed at pre-ST3 level

Informal mentorship programme
Web-based guidance on how to broaden /
enhance medical educational experience
Available to all
NOT a list of requirements / competencies
Hello and welcome to the Wessex Deanery Medical Education Fellows’ guide on how to develop
your interest in Medical Education. This resource is aimed at anyone who wants to expand their
horizons in Medical Education.
As trainees with a passion for education and training, we know how difficult and daunting it can be
to start building up experience in this arena and even to know exactly what falls under ‘the
umbrella’ of Medical Education. Having all pioneered a way through it ourselves, here are our
combined ideas about how to put your enthusiasm to work, develop opportunities and broaden
your horizons in this area. Have fun!
Recognisable but informal programme
Complement & support Ed. Supervisors
Named MEF for each trainee / mentee,
preferably in same trust
Discussion, guidance, goal-setting
NOT based on ‘competency’ or appraisal
NOT for support of struggling trainees
MEFs involved receive mentorship training
Formalise & develop trainees’ ed. skills
Increase MEF numbers, experience &
expertise
Stronger links with Ed. Supervisors
Continue strong Deanery ed. focus
Regular pathway / programme evaluation
