level then there is no need to duplicate. Details of any course should be

5. Examination Passes:
6. SWOT:
Greg Pearson has passed Part 1
Tom Smith-Walker, Hadi Haerizadeh & Alison Richardson have
completed their Part 2 exams.
JA reported that the SWOT days for 2011 are not quite finalised. These
are available on the Severn Deanery website.
He commented that the Peninsula needs to have a greater proportion of
the days locally. There are currently no days covering Paediatrics or
Forensic training.
The capacity for extra log book days was discussed and it was agreed
that RS will approach a colleague regarding putting on days locally to
cover Paeds & forensics. JA asked BPJ for his support in organising the
SWOT days locally, BPJ agreed to act as Education Officer and senior
support.
Action:
RS to contact her colleague in relation to providing forensic
& paediatric SWOT days.
7. USS Training & Courses:
RW proposed that training course could run on a rolling 2 year basis and
would consist of 3 theory based modules; 1- Basic Physics; 2-
Obstetrics & Normal anatomy; 3- pelvic anatomy and pregnancy &
problems of early pregnancy.
NS had suggested that trainees could use a week of their study leave
budget to pay for the provision of a sonographer to run an extra
ultrasound clinic, which would allow time to train. RS confirms that
PHNT may be able to accommodate this kind of training on behalf of
trusts that cannot. It was discussed that this training should be targeted
at the ST1-2’s as it is believed that the RCOG will be requiring these
competences by ST2.
Action:
RW to source prices for the hire of a sonographer for 1 week.
RW & MT to discuss dates for 2011.
SB to look into North Devon’s capability for provision of this
course.
RW to contact Truro to discuss their capacity.
