About this workshop

This session will showcase the exciting progress and impact of the RCPCH Assessment Review, exploring how assessments within Progress+ are being strengthened to ensure they are fair, meaningful, and sustainable. Drawing on insights from national pilots of new workplace based assessments and a revised MRCPCH Clinical exam, as well as consultation feedback, the session will highlight key learning, what has changed as a result of engagement, and how these developments better reflect real world paediatric practice. Looking ahead, it will also outline the next steps towards implementation. Presented by Dr Cathryn Chadwick, Vice President for Training and Assessment, and Hannah Watts, Associate Director for Examinations and Training, this is a valuable opportunity to hear directly from those leading this important work.
