Quality Assurance Matrix  

 

 

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.
