Good
60-100%
Not adequate/ room for improvement
40-59%
Must be improved greatly
0-39%
The system provides an indicator of the quality of teaching provided for the module; its statistical relevance will vary depending on the number of students who have provided
feedback. We have broken down the data to be site-specific and, as far as possible, module and speciality specific – i.e. covering the following:

Module 4A

Module 4B

Module 4C

Module 5A (CFHD)

Module 5B (WHMH)

*Neurology teaching is taught at RF and Queens Sq. However, for the purposes of the report, only the data for RF Neurology teaching for 2013-14 has been included
**Renal teaching is either at RF or provided by RF staff at both UCLH and the Whittington. Less than 1 hour per week of bedside teaching may take place by a member of Whittington staff
*** Please note that for Royal Free/Block 3 data, we have included the n= value for Endocrinology, Haematology, Infection/Immunity/Microbiology and GP Attachment. This is to highlight that the number of students
responding to those specific questions are significantly different (and lower) to the number of students based at the Royal Free who have completed the survey (n=17). This is not the case for UCLH and Whittington data.
Whittington freetext comments
More patient exposure requested.
Renal Teaching (UCLH) freetext comments

of the circulation of the SEQ at four weeks. Therefore, the statistics for these specialties have not been included for the 2013-14 (Block 1) results.
