What happens to CCT holders?
• 15 (4.7%) CCTs awarded in CCH – vs 21.6% of consultant workforce– All but 1 in substantive post
• Another 8 working in CCH with a CCT in general paediatrics i.e. not fully trained in CCH
• Why?– 198 (62.7%) CCTs in general paediatrics
• vs 41.4% of consultant workforce

Getting the right people
• CCH is now a popular choice in many Deaneries!
• CCH is a shortage specialty and most trainees go straight into consultant posts (or are headhunted even before CCT!)
• We need to consider training capacity to meet the demand for consultants and SSASGs who will be retiring in the foreseeable future
Should we have a Grid?
Positive• National profile• Like everyone else• Competition• National standard for
recruitment• More control of
appointment and numbers• Even out numbers
Risks• Lack of mobility might put
off trainees with family commitments (? higher proportion of CCH trainees)
• A lot of time and effort for same result (past experience!)
Training programme
Training in CCH: basics
• Three year programme (not just a series of posts)
• Structure– 2 years in CCH– 1 year more flexible. Can be in CCH, a specific
area of CCH or relevant specialty• Curriculum• Competency-based (except old-style SpR)
Allied subspecialties
• Paediatric neurodisability
• Child mental health
• Audiovestibular Medicine
CCH curriculum (specific areas)
• Child public health
• Behavioural paediatrics
• Safeguarding incl adoption & fostering
• Neurodisability incl audiology and visual impairment
http://www.rcpch.ac.uk/training-examinations-professional-development/quality-training/curriculum/curriculum
What is a relevant specialty?
• Must be a specialty/placement that enhances competencies approved prospectively e.g.– Paediatric neurology– Paediatric audiology– Palliative care– DGH neuro/epilepsy (perhaps 3/12)– Enteral/parenteral feeding (perhaps 3/12)– Longterm ventilation (perhaps 3/12)– General paediatrics?? (depends on content)
Remember
• CCT in Paediatrics (CCH)
• MUST be competent in– Gen paediatrics– Neonatal paediatrics– CCH
• Not just CCH
But…
• Trainees complain their general/neonatal service commitments interfering with CCH training
• General/neonatal should be – no more than 1/3 of 48 hours and – try to preserve daytime clinical commitments as
much as possible e.g. flexible days off, daytime urgent care to avoid rest period after nights
Supporting training
• Curriculum and assessment guidance
• Resource pack of ideas www.communitychildhealth.co.uk
• Guidance on preparing CV
• Guidance on CESR requirements
• Deanery leads for CCH (all deaneries)
• Specialty Training Advisor (STA) for individual advice on
CCT/CESRhttp://www.bacch.org.uk/training/trainees.php
Assessment
• WPBA
• Annual ARCP including trainer’s report
• START
• CCT application (assessed by STA)
http://www.rcpch.ac.uk/training-examinations-professional-development/quality-training/quality-training
CCT requirements
SpR• Three-year programme
• Show they have covered the syllabus, incl. breadth and depth
• Satisfactory progression
ST• Competence-based but
indicative three-year programme
• Show they have attained competences, incl. breadth and depth
• Satisfactory progression
Remember
• Still subspecialty trainees even w/o grid appt
• Expect 32/48 hours in the subspecialty
• Training needs should be met
• Quality of training should be paramount
• College (CSAC) role is to ensure quality
Quality
Ensuring quality
• Deanery questionnaire (should differentiate CCH)
• GMC questionnaire (should differentiate CCH)
• New consultant questionnaire
• BACCH ASM trainees meeting; other trainee mtgs
• Trainee rep on CSAC
Issues with quality assurance
• Unusual in that CCH has no grid– Grid is only an appointments process but were…
• Unable to identify trainees• Unable to monitor trainees
• The solution– Work with Heads of School– Deanery leads for CCH– RCPCH database of all CCH trainees

How well have the following elements of your train-ing prepared you for your current post?
Very wellWellSatisfactorilyPoorlyVery poorly
BACCH survey 2012 H Brewer & T Woodbridge
Trainee survey 2011
• Did not differentiate CCH trainees
Another piece of the jigsaw
• Community paediatricians no more likely to be referred to NCAS than other paediatricians and not early in their careers
CCT Holder survey 2012
• 270/330 responded (81%)• 91% in same post as their Specialist
registration but…• 8/xx (%) in CCH don’t have a CCT in CCH. All
registered in general paediatrics• CCTs awarded:
– 15 CCH– 11 PND
Other routes to Specialist Register• CESR (combined programme)
– Includes overseas training
• CESR in CCT specialty: Paediatrics (CCH)– Training/qualifications/experience equivalent to CCT
• CESR in non-CCT specialty (CCH)– Must have overseas
training/qualifications/experience to follow this route (currently)
CESR
• Must demonstrate training and experience lead to competency equivalent to CCT
• Standard required– CESR paediatrics = CCT– CESR CCH = ‘knowledge & skills consistent with
practice as a consultant in the NHS’
http://www.rcpch.ac.uk/training-examinations-professional-development/certification/certificate-eligibility-specialist-regi
Suggestions given to HoS
• Establish expected workforce needs (next 5 years)
• Re-evaluate CCH training programme– Demand for places– Quality checklist– Trainee feedback
• Is your training programme fit for purpose?
If not…
• Expand training capacity– Use existing posts flexibly
• Reassess using checklist/’virtual visit form’• Get level 2 posts approved for Level 3 (needs CSAC
approval)• Consider > 1 Level 3 trainee together for support
– Create additional posts• Needs GMC approval only if centre not previously
recognised
• Remember your SSASGs…
Mersey
• 8 CCH trainees– 6 FT– 2 LTFT
• 2 PND trainees (both LTFT)– 1 Academic
• 7 more wanting to start in Aug 2012– Interviewing for the first time
Mersey programmePrinciple is that everyone gets at least • 1 year block at AHCH with child protection on call• 1 year block in periphery with general on call• 6 months neurology• Other 6 months ‘relevant specialty’ experience could
be a community placement with CAMHS attachment, but should be able to offer flexibility in case they want to do safeguarding/public health or something else too.
