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.
