Training Days

Most learning takes place through clinical experience on the wards, and some topics are much better learnt through practice. To provide you with the most comprehensive exposure to all areas of the Gastroenterology curriculum, the KSS Gastroenterology STC are working in collaboration with the London Deanery to develop a schedule of training days that are closely mapped to the curriculum.

 Training days are an adjunct to practical experience, serving to clarify and illuminate the links between theory and practice, while stimulating further learning on the part of the trainees. Each training day is based around case discussions and encourages you to actively take part in investigation and discussions.

 It is mandatory that all Gastroenterology trainees attend a minimum of 70% of Regional Training Days (not including the joint GIM training days). It is the trainee’s responsibility to liaise with the trust in good time to ensure sufficient service cover.

 Attendance rates feed into the annual ARCP; if a trainee does not comply with the minimum attendance percentage, they will obtain an unsatisfactory ARCP outcome.
