This study highlights several issues that may detract from the functionality of OnWBAs. Pockets of consultants are inadequately trained in the use of OnWBAs, and many lack knowledge of trainee requirements. In addition the delay between assessment and completion of feedback is a concern that goes against current recommendations. Simple measures in the workplace and the involvement of educational bodies could remedy some of these issues. Further studies investigating a wider population would help to establish the true extent of the problem and isolate the main causative factors behind these issues.
