RA-UK are delighted to announce new guidance for trainers, developed jointly with the RCoA, which will help support residents in their efforts meet the regional anaesthesia capabilities outlined in the 2021 curriculum. This guidance is designed to be used in situations where clinical training opportunities for a specific regional anaesthetic technique are limited.
The guidance allows SLEs to be undertaken in a non-clinical situation. Knowledge and skills relevant to a particular block may be assessed if the resident has previously demonstrated satisfactory clinical performance in a related block at the same stage of training.
The guidance provides a straightforward process for trainers to follow and examples of evidence that could contribute to HALO sign-off at each stage of the curriculum.
We have produced the guidance to increase fairness and ensure all residents have the opportunity to meet curriculum capabilities, recognising that evidence shows the availability of clinical training opportunities varies across the UK.
