Any doctor who has been responsible for the supervision of the acute medical take can be the assessor for an ACAT. Case-based Discussion (CbD) The CbD assesses the performance of a trainee in their management of a patient to provide an indication of competence in areas such as clinical reasoning, decision-making and application of medical knowledge in relation to patient care. It also serves as a method to document conversations about, and presentations of, cases by trainees. The CbD should focus on a written record (such as written case notes, out-patient letter, and discharge summary). A typical encounter might be when presenting newly referred patients in the out-patient department. mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mini-CEX) This tool evaluates a clinical encounter with a patient to provide an indication of competence in skills essential for good clinical care such as history taking, examination and clinical reasoning.

A trainee can be regarded as competent to perform a procedure independently after they are signed off as such by an appropriate assessor (summative). Multi-source feedback (MSF) This tool is a method of assessing generic skills such as communication, leadership, team working, reliability etc, across the domains of Good Medical Practice.

Feedback is given to the trainee by the Educational Supervisor. Patient/Parent Survey (PS) A trainee’s interaction with patients should be continually observed and assessed.
