Education, Development & Governance
FEEDBACK FOR LEARNING
Facilitator: Dr Derek Blades, Effective Professional Interactions
Date:
Venue:
Time: 9.30-4.30
Verifiable CPD hours:

Background
Effective feedback is a critical factor in support of learning in the
workplace. Two specific contexts for feedback are 'in action' (during
the task) and 'following action' (after, yet close to the task) when
discussion may move from an initial task focus to wider
considerations. Clinical tasks themselves differ in the level of
clinical uncertainty, and this affects the nature of feedback. The
focus of this one day course is to develop effective feedback skills
'on-the-job' and 'close to the job'.

Aim
The course will aim to identify and respond to the learning needs of
the group in relation to the provision of 'feedback for learning' in
the context of workplace based learning.
1. To develop a model of good practice.
2. To practise feedback skills within contrasting clinical contexts.
3. To agree how to continue to develop feedback skills in the workplace.

Target Audience
Clinical supervisors who support the workplace learning of doctors and dentists.

Core Content
This will include the following:
* Feedback as a critical component of workplace learning.
* Some principles of feedback for learning.
* Medical and dental contexts; the culture of PGME.
* Models of feedback provision.
* Skill development:
o Enhancing the effectiveness of communication.
o Managing challenge and support for the learner.
o Coping with problems.

Teaching Method
Reflection upon experience and upon models of good practice

Practise

Expected Learning Outcomes

Delegates will be able to:
1. Demonstrate improved feedback skills of immediate practical value
to their work as clinical educators.
2. Transfer the principles and practices learnt into the workplace in
order to continue to develop their feedback skills.
