There are a number of procedural skills in which a trainee must become proficient to the level expected by the end of training. Trainees must be able to outline the indications for these procedures and recognise the importance of valid informed consent, and of requesting help when appropriate. For all practical procedures the trainee must be able to recognise complications and respond appropriately if they arise, including calling for help from colleagues in other specialties when necessary. Trainees will be able to record their procedures in the updated ePortfolio. Assessment of procedural skills will be made using the OSATS tool.

When a trainee has been signed off as being able to perform a procedure independently, they are not required to have any further assessment (OSATS) of that procedure, unless they or their Educational Supervisor think that this is required (in line with standard professional conduct).
CESR applicants should provide evidence that they can perform all these procedures independently in their GMC submission.

The FSRH has put together a complete list of the knowledge that trainees will be expected to acquire over their training programme. The list is comprehensive, showing what topics will be needed for each Capability in Practice. The list also constitutes the syllabus for the MFSRH Examination. This document is expected to be used by both trainees and examination candidates.
