GMC Assessment Development Pilots
We’re recruiting doctors to assist with our GMC assessment pilots and we’re hoping you can help.
This is a great opportunity to get exam practice and gain extracurricular experience for applications and appraisals. You’ll receive a certificate for your portfolio, test scores and £175 for a half day written exam pilot.
Attendees would sit a two hour written exam then provide feedback on the assessment material. The assessments will later help us check whether a doctor is fit to practise, and your feedback helps us ensure the tests are reliable, set at the right level, and fair to the doctor.
To attend, doctors must have worked in the pilot specialty for four months or more during the past year.

NIC - Tech Survey
NeoTRIPs is looking for local leads as part of a large scale audit looking at technologies available in each neonatal/special care baby unit across the UK.
The project is called NIC-Tech and will require local leads to collect data which will be collated and aimed to be published and presented. All contributors will be acknowledged in any publications.
In particular, we are looking for trainees working in district general hospitals who may be willing to participate in data collection.
If anyone is interested in participating, please feel free to get in touch with me for further information.
I have attached some further information on the project.
Kind regards
