English Tutorials do not need to be an hour a week every week throughout the year. It is fine to load them early on in the FD year, especially for the first few weeks, as they are more likely to need more contact time earlier in the training year.
Be prepared to be guided by what the FD wants to learn about in a tutorial. FD’s especially find case-based discussions (CbDs) useful, and this can lead to more in-depth discussions about certain techniques within the tutorial.
Do not go into a tutorial unprepared – it is a valuable time slot for the FDs and a wasted tutorial is a wasted educational opportunity. Hands-on tutorials such as surgical extractions always go down well with FDs and are proven to be good from an educational perspective.
Assessment mapped DOP’S and ADEPT’S. The activity guide which lays out assessments required leading into ESR and IRCP will guide you as to the content of these. Tutorial time can be allocated to these mandatory activities. Several DOP’s may be possible within one patient encounter.
