About HE KSS
HE KSS is responsible for Postgraduate Medical and Dental Training in Kent, Surrey and
Sussex within the boundaries of Health Education Kent Sussex Surrey. This covers a large
geographical area and is defined to the North by the M25 motorway with Trusts residing
inside the M25 falling under Health Education South London .
KSS covers 12 Acute Trusts and 3 Mental Health Trusts.
Trainee doctors, from here on referred to as trainees, can follow various routes to achieve
consultant or GP status. Listed here is the route that the majority of trainees will follow,
culminating in receiving a CCT certificate at final completion of their training. Details of
other routes to achieve this can be found in “The Gold Guide”, a copy of which can be found
in your induction packs.
The majority of UK graduates will have completed 4/5 years at Medical School.
 The Medical School located within KSS is based at Brighton – Brighton Medical
School (BSMS), Brighton Sussex University Hospital (BSUH)
Trainees then complete 2 years in Foundation Schools which gives them exposure and
insight to a variety of specialties.
 The South Thames Foundation School is part of HE KSS and works in collaboration
with and on behalf of the London Deanery to support approximately 950 trainees
across KSS and including London hospitals south of the Thames.
Trainees then choose how they wish to specialise, which they enter via a competitive
recruitment process. This may be as a trainee GP or as a trainee hospital doctor. GP’s
currently complete 3 years training, which includes a combination of GP training within GP
practices, coupled with hospital based training spread across a variety of specialties.
Trainee GP’s are managed via the GP Department within HE KSS.
Specialty trainees are managed by the Specialty Workforce Department within HE KSS.
Trainee hospital based doctors generally fall into 8 core specialties; Anesthesia, Acute Care
Common Stem (ACCS), Paediatrics, Psychiatry, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Ophthalmology,
Surgery and Medicine.
The duration of training and configuration of training length varies between specialties. The
training is generally split into core training and higher training, although anaesthesia has
intermediate as well. Some specialties are classed as ‘coupled’ whereby a trainee recruited
into ST1 will progress through to CCT at ST5 to 8, subject to satisfactory progress. Other
Trainee Rep Induction Pack V4 June 2013 3
specialties are classed as ‘uncoupled’ whereby a trainee completes 1 to 3 years of core
training and then needs to compete for a place in the higher years of training. Higher training
is currently managed in the main via the London Deanery on our behalf, although some
specialties will be moving to being managed by KSS in the near future.
KSS are now managing a large number of higher specialty programmes with the vast
majority of these having access to places within London teaching hospitals to deliver
elements of the curriculum required for the programme.
Introduction from Deputy Dean Secondary Care
We are in a time of reform once again in the National Health Service, with radical changes
being enacted from April 1st 2013.
The changes to the Health Service have also coincided with the final report of the Francis
Investigations into mid-Staffordshire.
The messages that are coming through loud and clear from these developments is that the
trainee voice is pivotal in the delivery of excellent education which leads directly to excellent
patient experience and outcomes.
It is no surprise therefore that we continue to develop the position of the trainee voice in the
delivery of our programmes in Kent, Surrey & Sussex, and aspire to make it as efficient and
effective as possible.
Patients and colleagues would expect little else.

Generation E
The Generation E initiative started in 2012 as a pilot and has already run some cross
deanery, cross-specialty events. Some of our retired consultants have given guest lectures
and supported Trainee Doctors in one-to-one feedback capacity. From 2013 our aim is to
increase our pool of Volunteers both in number and also extend to other professionals, raise
awareness amongst Trainee Doctors and organise more events. Further information can be
found on the website here: http://kssdeanery.org/GenerationE
Expense Claims
KSS Specialty Workforce often invites Trainee Representatives to attend events and details
of how to claim expenses are found here which is regularly updated.
http://kssdeanery.org/expense-claims
STC Meetings and role
Each Specialty School in KSS Deanery is supported by a Specialty Training Committee
whose role it is to: establish and organise the training programme in the Kent, Surrey and
Sussex region support recruitment and selection to the programme arrange for ARCP / RITA
requirements to be met deal with all trainee issues in the programme, including failing
trainee/trainee in difficulty and remedial action report to KSS Deanery via the Postgraduate
Dean deliver the priorities and objectives of KSS Deanery training aims be responsible for
curriculum delivery, quality management and addressing the needs of trainees guide and
liaise with DMEs and clinical tutors in the delivery of programmes conform to GMC /College
and national specialty guidance where appropriate, liaise with feeder STCs for the
specialty(ies).
Further information can be found here: http://kssdeanery.org/specialty/trainers/specialtytraining-guide/structure-specialty-training/stcs
Trainee representation is a key element in the development and monitoring of the Specialty
Training Programmes, and representative’s play a valuable role in providing feedback and
helping shape new initiatives. The role of the Trainee Rep within the school is to act as a
middle person between trainees and the school and to attend the school meetings as a
representative of their peers to feedback both positive and negative experiences of their peer
group within their respective training programmes and hospitals. The following trainee
representative feedback form was designed with the help of the trainee representatives

Prospectus, recruitment events
All prospectus information and when recruitment events are happening can be found on the
website; http://prospectus.kssdeanery.org/
ARCP & Revalidation
The detailed arrangements for Annual Reviews of Competence Progression (ARCP) are
contained in the Deanery manual on ARCPs. A summary guidance is provided below. It
should be read in conjunction with Section 7 of the Gold Guide.
The ARCP provides a formal process which uses the evidence gathered by the trainee,
relating to his/her progress in the training programme. It should normally be undertaken on
at least an annual basis for all trainees undertaking specialty training and will enable the
trainee, the Postgraduate Dean and employers document that the competencies required are
being gained at an appropriate rate through appropriate experience. Further information
regarding ARCP including the ARCP Guidelines 2012 can be found here:
http://kssdeanery.org/arcp
Revalidation is the GMC’s new way of regulating doctors to give extra confidence to patients
that their doctors are up to date and fit to practise. The GMC is rolling out revalidation
across the UK from the end of 2012. Further information regarding revalidation can be found
here: http://kssdeanery.org/revalidation
LEP Visit, Diary and training
The GMC has defined a framework for quality assurance of training. KSS will need to ensure
within this framework that there is a clear set of standards for trainers and training
environments and that evidence of educational delivery is shared.
The function of KSS visits to a Local Education Provider (LEP) is to ensure that Trusts with
trainees have mechanisms in place to allow training to be adequately delivered across all
specialties.
Further information regarding dates and training can be found on the website at:
http://kssdeanery.org/quality-management/visits-local-education-providers
Trainee Rep Induction Pack V4 June 2013 13
As a trainee representative, you may be asked to participate on a LEP visit for your specialty.
The role of the trainee representative is to actively ensure that the trainee voice is heard
during the visit and in the follow up report. You will be allowed to question trainees, trainers
and senior managers on various issues to ensure that trainees are working in an
environment that is conducive to acquiring the skills and knowledge as set out in the
respective specialty curriculum. Training is given to all those who participate on the visits.

ST&EAG Trainee Representatives
KSS Deanery Specialty Training and Advisory Group (ST&EAG)
KSS Deanery’s ST&EAG is looking to appoint new trainee representation to join the group
and act as an agent of all KSS managed trainees within Kent, Surrey and Sussex. The hope
is to appoint one Trainee Representative who will serve in post for one year. In addition,
there will be one Deputy Trainee Representative who deputise for one year before taking on
the role of Trainee Representative in their second year, at which time a new Deputy will be
appointed.
This is a challenging and exciting role, and a unique opportunity to act as representation for
all trainees within KSS Deanery. There are direct inputs into the ‘Generation E’ project, and
being involved gives the post holder a unique total view of Deanery work.
What is ST&EAG?
KSS Deanery convenes the Specialty Training and Education Advisory Group (ST&EAG) in
order to support and enhance the work of all specialty schools and associated committees in
KSS Deanery, to solve educational problems and advise on matters relating to specialty
training and education.
The group meets every second month and is chaired by the Deputy Postgraduate Dean for
Secondary Care, Kevin Kelleher. Its remit is to:
 Provide an advisory forum for issues generic to the specialty schools in KSS Deanery
 Accept and update the operational guides for the schools, including inclusion of
mandatory quality control issues which go to the KSS Quality Management Steering
Group
 Ensure high quality liaison with LEPs, their LABs and LFGs, and enhance Contract
Review
 Ensure delivery of curricula in liaison with Royal Colleges, Specialty Advisory
Committees and Faculties
 Respond to all issues and queries related to the Gold Guide.
ST&EAG membership comprises Heads of School from all KSS Specialty Schools, as well
as representatives from KSS Education and Quality teams, and HR, IT, Trusts and
Foundation School on a more flexible basis as the need arises.
Eligibility
Eligibility is limited to current KSS Managed trainees who will continue to be so for the full
term of the role.
Trainee Rep Induction Pack V4 June 2013 21
Role Summary
About the person
KSS managed secondary care senior trainee ST4 or above within KSS Deanery. Welldeveloped presentation skills are essential.
Term
One year acting as Deputy, followed by one year acting as Trainee Representative. In this
first year, the Trainee Representative role will be for one single year.
Commitment
Attendance at 6 ST&EAG meetings a year at KSS Deanery, London Bridge (historically this
has been taken as study leave). In addition time spent coordinating projects for the Deanery
including the ongoing trainee voice project, facilitating workshops at Deanery events ( TPD
training days, trainee rep trainee days and the annual Deanery conference). All travel
expenses are funded by the Deanery separate to study leave.
Benefits
Benefits include greater understanding of Deanery organisational functions and roles within
the Deanery, leadership opportunities, project management and representing the views of all
the trainees within KSS to the Deputy Postgraduate Dean and Heads of School. The post
holder can use this experience to demonstrate Leadership skills both at interviews and within
their own specialty training.
A message from the previous post holder
During my 2-year tenure as ST&EAG Trainee Representative I set up and ran the trainee
voice survey, a survey aiming to capture the views of all the secondary care specialist
trainees within KSS by surveying the 158 LFG and specialty school reps. I analysed the data
and the results were presented to ST&EAG and actions agreed upon by the Heads of
School. There are further moves to include future survey results in commissioning of
education across the deanery. As a result of the survey, a LFG data collection pro forms has
been produced for use by reps prior to LFG meetings. In addition the Deanery now holds all
of the contact details of trainee reps across the Deanery and this data will continue to be
collected and held at the Deanery.
The next phase of the project is likely to involve a more focused survey in the coming year,
building on the first survey, with specific questions be addressed covering various domains
included in both the LFG pro forma and the GMC survey.
This is a challenging role, which requires good organisational skills and time management,
however the rewards are multiple. The opportunity to run a large scale project is unusual as
a trainee and allows for the development of multiple leadership skills.
