After reflection, it is felt that a redesign of the system would be helpful both for educator development and ongoing resident doctor support: Creation of a Lead TPD to lead the service and assist with educator development especially of those new to TPD or ES roles. Development of robust governance procedures around ARCPs Creating TPD leads who will focus on support after periods out of training and improving the working lives of doctors (including robust and equitable processes around the management of less than full time working). Creating a team structure that allows peaks and roughs of activity to be managed Presence at teaching days to further help resolve queries in a timely way Provide a structure that allows a point of contact in the event of an urgent matter arising This will be the first hub to be developed.
