Training Orthopaedic Educational Supervisors (TOES)

Please note the TOES is not currently running. The course was developed to support the introduction of the 2021 curriculum and as this is now well embedded, we do not have any further additional course dates scheduled.

We may look to run it again in the future if further curriculum support is required.

2021 programme

No more box ticking and number crunching. Life for you, as a trainer should be better and richer from August 2021. All the curriculum work over the last 3 years is coming to fruition.  It will address concerns expressed by many trainers about the over refined structure of ISCP: of tick boxes and forms. Our trainees need to acquire professional judgement, insight, leadership, and the ability to work with others, alongside the operative skills required to be a safe surgeon. The new updated curriculum should help us do this more effectively.  This 9 hour TOES programme is designed to help Educational Supervisors make the necessary changes work for them and their trainees.

Course structure

We will use:

  • A learning log distributed through email with feedback from the moderator and cohort colleagues, to achieve learning outcomes through a set of screencasts and activities you complete at your own pace.*
  • Zoom for one 2-hour live session for teaching simulations with feedback, and discussions.  

The total amount of time required to complete the course will be around 9 hours.

*Participants should complete the BOA TOES course within 6 weeks of the start date. 

Learning outcomes

At the end of this programme, participants will be able to:

  • Summarise changes to the T&O curriculum and how these will affect you
  • Make the best use of assessment tools including the Multi Consultant Report
  • Integrate the new Capabilities in Practice and Generic Professional Capabilities
  • Plan how to conduct or contribute to a Multi Consultant Report (MCR)
  • Make best use of their trainer portfolio
  • Use assessment of reflective writing to maximise trainee progress

The programme will be facilitated by Lisa Hadfield-Law, the BOA educational advisor. Over the last 20 years, Lisa has trained over 15,000 T&O surgeons, from 68 countries, to teach.  She trained as a virtual teacher in 2016 and has run over 30 fully on line programmes.
