There are 10 training posts in each ST1 and ST2 year in the Severn Deanery which are in St Michaels Hospital, Bristol (7 posts), Southmead Hospital, Bristol (9 posts) and Great Western Hospital, Swndon (4 posts).
Most ST1 trainees commence at one of the Bristol Hospitals and spend at least 6 months in Swindon during the two years of basic training depending on individual training needs.
All ST1 and ST2 trainees are expected to attend the Friday afternoon teaching programme held in Bristol. Details available under “Courses and Education”.
During these two years of training trainees will be expected to achieve all the competencies in the basic training component of the Training Portfolio. Trainees will also be expected to attend the Basic Practical Skills Course in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and pass part 1 MRCOG.
For further information about ST1 and ST2 training in the Severn Deanery please contact the ST1/2 Training Programme Director Mr Mark Denbow Tel: 01179 285 470 or email: mark.denbow@uhbristol.nhs.uk Information for ST1 & 2 trainees about the RCOG eportfolio
All ST1 and ST2 trainees should now have access to their RCOG ePortfolio. All Educational Supervisors of also now have access to the eportfolio of their own trainee and the RCOG Tutor in Southmead, St Michaels and Swindon have access to the ST1 and ST2 portfolios of the trainees during their tenure at their Trust.
ST1 and ST2 trainees should be accessing their eportfolios on a regular basis to undertake their regular appraisals, complete their work based assessments, up load their training documentation such as certificates of attendance and audit projects and to spend time completing their reflective practice.
All ST2 trainees should ensure their Annual Educational Supervisor report is uploaded onto their portfolio. It is with regret that the logbook is not fully functional in an electronic form for signing off competencies. However the RCOG has provided a paper version of the logbook in an A5 format which should be used for signing off competencies. If any trainees or trainers are struggling with the portfolio then Sian Edwards (current ST2 at Southmead Hospital) has agreed to provide local support.
