It is recognised that competence could be achieved with fewer cases, if supported by evidence fromother assessments. Meeting the numbers does not, in itself, imply competence.https://www.iscp.ac.uk/https://www.iscp.ac.uk :subscriptiononlyhttps://www.iscp.ac.uk/https://www.iscp.ac.uk/ OTHER EVIDENCES OUTSIDE CLINICAL WORKSForexample Trainee has managed apatient withAcuteAppendicitis ,itcanbe assessed byanyofthe followingWBAs History,Management -CaseBased Discussions (CBD) Clinicalexamination –Clinical Evaluation Exercise (CEX) Consented patient -Clinical Evaluation Exercise forConsent CEX for consent) PerformedAppendicectomy- Procedure BaseAssessment/ (PBA) DirectObservational Procedure (DOPS)https://www.iscp.ac.uk/https://www.iscp.ac.uk/Nonoperative technical skills(NOTES)https://www.elogbook.org/ . freeaccesshttps://client.elogbook.org/eLogbook/Operations/OperationMaintain/Addhttps://www.jcst.org/cesr/REFERENCES https://www.jcst.org,accessed12.06.23 https://www.iscp.ac.uk/iscp/curriculum/general-surgery-curriculum, accessed 12.06.23 https://client.elogbook.org/eLogbook,accessed 12.06.23Disclaimer Allinformationcopiedand screenshotfrom ISCP website; the curriculumhas been introducedinAugust2021.
