“…Directorate or faculty development is key: trained staff are more reliable in summative assessment and more likely to give feedback in formative assessment. 65 As Kelly and colleagues 44 have stated: 'a macroview is needed on the purposes and systems for assessment, before becoming involved in the details of developing particular instruments, in particular, although a mediocre assessment within a good system can be manipulated to be "good enough", a good instrument within a poor system is likely to perform poorly'.…”

A key aspect of the practice of anaesthesia is the ability to perform practical procedures efficiently and safely. Decreased working hours during training, an increasing focus on patient safety, and greater accountability have resulted in a paradigm shift in medical education. The resulting international trend towards competency-based training demands robust methods of evaluation of all domains of learning. The assessment of procedural skills in anaesthesia is poor compared with other domains of learning and has fallen behind surgical fields. Logbooks and procedure lists are best suited to providing information regarding likely opportunities within training programmes. Retrospective global scoring and direct observation without specific criteria are unreliable. The current best evidence for a gold standard for assessment of procedural skills in anaesthesia consists of a combination of previously validated checklists and global rating scales, used prospectively by a trained observer, for a procedure performed in an actual patient. Future research should include core assessment parameters to ensure methodological rigor and facilitate robust comparisons with other studies: (i) reliability, (ii) validity, (iii) feasibility, (iv) cost-effectiveness, and (v) comprehensiveness with varying levels of difficulty. Simulation may become a key part of the future of formative and summative skills assessment in anaesthesia; however, research is required to develop and test simulators that are realistic enough to be suitable for use in high-stakes evaluation.

“…13,14 Indirectly, trainees have benefited from the increased practice of outcomes audit to monitor performance in surgical units. As outcomes were scrutinized by patient bodies and national agencies, the importance of consultant led health care and the need for consultant supervision of operating lists were highlighted.…”

Surgical education and training is evolving as new educational techniques are developed amidst a greater societal requirement and pressure for a greater number of surgeons. The methods of delivering this education and training vary between institutions, but all have the common aim to produce effective well-rounded surgeons who are capable of providing a safe and competent service that is relevant to the society within which they work.
