Transparency around rotation planning

Written By Nataliya Piletska

Dear all,

Happy new year all and hope you got some time to rest.

One of the queries raised in the trainee feedback during STC meeting was transparency around rotation planning where a few trainees felt their preferences/choices were not taken into consideration. I am sorry they felt this way.

I got an opportunity over the Xmas/NY to review 2022 preference forms and allocations that I made for Aug 2022.

I can confirm:

  • 83% (87/106 trainees) were given one of their 3 preference(s) 

  • 65% (69/106 trainees) were given their 1st preference

  • 17% (19/106 trainees) were offered other available spots (not their preferred ones). I can also confirm that I personally had a discussion with each of them and their TPD before we agreed on a placement. 

Thanks all.

Sincerely, 

Rathi
