The Quality Assurance Matrix
was designed by members of the College Quality Assurance
Committee. The document should be read alongside PMETB’s
Generic Standards for Training (2008) upon which it is based and it
represents an interpretation of how the standards might be applied
in psychiatric training.
For each of the standards
there are suggested activities that will assist in achieving the
requirements and there is an indication of who might take
responsibility within the Schools of Psychiatry and Local Education
Providers.
The matrix also lists
potential indicators of success and potential sources of evidence
for quality management purposes.
It is expected that the standards for
training as published by PMETB will change, and therefore the
matrix will need to evolve both in line with these changes and any
other significant changes in the provision of psychiatric
training. This version of the matrix has incorporated the
most recent changes from PMETB. The matrix therefore, will be
updated from time to time by the Quality Assurance Committee.
Any suggestions for change can be sent to Claire Drummond. We
are particularly keen to learn about how schools of psychiatry are
identifying success indicators.
