Deans Case Management
The Deans Case Management group comprises of the Postgraduate Dean and Responsible Officer and senior clinicians who have oversight of Foundation, General Practice and Secondary Care resident doctors, dentists and pharmacists.
The purpose of the group is to ensure that all trainees in the North West receive equitable support as required throughout their training. This should be viewed as a supportive process to assure that the appropriate measures are put in place to maximise their training potential.
Deans Case Management Referral Guide
All of us are likely to experience periods of difficulty at some point in our own careers. One starting point when faced with a trainee requiring support is to consider the type of support and guidance you might want if you were in the same situation.
This updated document aims to give guidance on early management and support of trainees about whom there may be concern. It has been produced for use by Heads of School and Training Programme Directors, although we hope that it will be a useful reference for all educators supervising our trainees.
