Logbook/SWOT

The calendar for the SWOT & Logbook days are planned annually by the SW Trainees. Currently the trainee organiser is Jon Ash - please contact Jon is you have any ideas or improvements.

To reserve your place at a SWOT/Logbook day please ensure you register your attendance as soon as possible as well as checking your rota to ensure you will be able to attend. Few training days have a limit on the number of trainees who can attend & catering requires organising in advance.

In the event you are unable to attend please ensure you provide reasonable notice (eg in advance unless it is an emergency) to cancel your place to enable other trainees to be given the opportunity to attend.

Logbook Days

Currently there are 5 Log Book Days in the SW each year. They are held in the same month in the same Trust as follows:

Paediatric Gynaecology/ Rape and Forensic Gynaecology - January     Gloucester Trust
Basic Colposcopy - February    Royal Devon and Exeter Trust
Basic Obstetric Ultrasound - April     Plymouth
Assisted Reproduction - October    St Michaels
Presentation skills - December    Southmead
Breaking Bad News - December    Southmead

The dates are set in advance and booking is essential. Attendance Certificates are provided.

All ST Trainees must attend a training course on 'Breaking Bad News' to complete Module 1 of the Logbook. For the past 2 years a course has been run at Southmead Hospital by the Palliative Care Team which has been well received, however places are limited & the School of O&G are aware there are a number of ST Trainees who still need to attend this course.

Many Trusts run their own 'In House' course for staff which would be suitable for Trainees to attend. At UHBristol Trust the Multidisciplinary 'Breaking Bad News' courses are run throughout the year by the Palliative Care Team & attendance is free to UHB employees.

The courses available in the remainder of 2009 are: Tuesday 15th September, Tuesday 13th October & Thursday 19th November. If any trainees will be employed by UHB on these dates & would like to attend the 'Breaking Bad News' course please contact Stephanie Evans, PFICC Training Co-ordinator (Mon-Thur), UH Bristol, Rm 10, Level 5, Education Centre, Bristol. Tel: 0117 342 0113 or email her: Stephanie.evans@UHBristol.nhs.uk Places are allocated on a first come first served basis.
