Reporting a Concern about Training

Most trainees have a positive experience in their placements on their training programme. However, from time-to-time trainees will encounter a problem or issue that causes concern. Patient safety is everyone's first concern, and you should use the clinical governance framework in your Health Board to highlight a risk as soon as you become aware of it. All Health Boards will have policies for incident and near miss reporting, risk management and clinical governance. They will also have policies for bullying and harassment, and staff conduct, and capability so there will be a mechanism and staff who can advise you. You can raise training concerns in several ways including via the training programme structure, or directly to HEIW: Educational Supervisors, Training Programme Directors, or Associate Dean.
