Understanding the RCPCH Assessment Review - changes to workplace-based assessments

Want to know more about the RCPCH's Assessment Review particularly what, why, when and how it's going to affect you? This podcast episode aims to do just that by bringing together some of the College faculty who have been involved through the planning, development and pilot stages. Dr Cathryn Chadwick, outgoing Vice President for Training and Assessment, Dr Josh Hodgson, Chair of the RCPCH Trainee Committee and Dr Sarah Hallett, Trainee Representative for Assessment at the RCPCH, discuss proposed changes to workplace-based assessments which are designed to better reflect real clinical practice.

After two pilots and a consultation on the new workplace-based assessments, the proposed changes have been submitted to the General Medical Council for approval. Drawing on insights from trainees, trainers and College teams, the review marks a significant step towards embedding assessment within everyday clinical work. In this conversation, Cathryn, Josh and Sarah outline the Assessment Review process, proposed changes, and predicted timeline for implementation, and address concerns that have come up along the way. <ul type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/education-careers/training-assessment/assessment-review-information-updates"> Learn more and keep up to date with the Assessment Review process - on RCPCH website</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/news-events/news/2026-06/understanding-rcpch-assessment-review-changes-workplace-based-assessments"> Read our news page summary and download the transcript from episode 1 - on RCPCH website</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://learning.rcpch.ac.uk/home/podcasts/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Discover more of our podcasts - on RCPCH Learning</a></li> </ul> About Cathryn Cathryn is the outgoing RCPCH Vice President for Training and Assessment, a post she has held since 2021.

Leading the Way 12: The quiet power of SAS doctor leadership, with Dr Kumar Swamy

Representing around 30% of the medical workforce in the NHS, SAS doctors are essential to delivering high-quality care. Yet their role is still evolving in terms of recognition and development. In this episode, Dr Jonathan Darling, who has recently completed tenure as RCPCH Vice President for Education and Professional Development, speaks with Dr Kumar Swamy, neonatology specialist and RCPCH SAS Joint Chair about how the RCPCH SAS committee works to amplify the impact and recognition of SAS doctors through consistent and persuasive messaging.

Child health research 1: Digital health technologies, with Professor Paul Dimitri

<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW145333957 BCX8"> How can we use digital technology to address children's physical and mental health needs and shift from reactive to anticipatory, personalised care? This episode is the first of a series on research and child health and discusses the role of technology in transforming child health. Professor Paul Dimitri, Director of Research and Innovation at Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust and paediatric endocrinology consultant talks with Nish Talawila Da Camara, Head of Research and Evidence. Paul outlines how digital tools, data and artificial intelligence can be used to build a more proactive and humane system for addressing children and young people's health. There are many exciting advancements in the world of digital health technology, from new infrastructure like the incoming National Centre for Child Health Technology to advancements like remote monitoring, digital twins and AI. But we now face new challenges: Paul emphasises the need for child-focused digital standards and safeguarding measures. As children and young people's physical and mental needs are rising, 'the real opportunity isn't the technology itself. It's what we choose to do with it.' <ul type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/news-events/news/2026-06/child-health-research-digital-health-technologies-professor-paul-dimitri"> Read our news page summary and download the transcript from episode 1 - on RCPCH website</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://learning.rcpch.ac.uk/home/podcasts/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Discover more of our podcasts - on RCPCH Learning</a></li> </ul> The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast relates only to the speaker and not necessarily to their employer, organisation, RCPCH or any other group or individual.
