REVIEW AND GUIDANCE OF TRAINEE WORKING STYLES Available to Purchase

Functional competences and effective working styles are distinguished as aspects of occupational competence. Two types of review and guidance meeting are described: progress review meetings and transitional review meetings. Possible procedures for assessing functional competences and effective working styles in each type of review are outlined, including a simple practical questionnaire for recording views of the trainer and trainee about current progress towards effective working styles. Those views are summarised on an easy‐to‐use working styles index. By comparing the versions of the index completed by a trainee and by his or her trainer, progress and plans can be discussed, and agreement reached about areas deserving special attention in future.
