Multi-source feedback (MSF)

Trainees on the Scientist Training Programme are required to initiate two Multi-Source Feedback (MSF) assessments during their training.

The first at around the 18-month point of training and the second at around the 30-month point, although there’s no limit to the number of MSFs a trainee can undertake. Trainees are free to begin an MSF whenever they like, the School won’t request a specific time when one should start.

What should I do if I work in a small department with 6 people or less - is this sufficient for the MSF?

MSF is much more valuable if it comes from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and experience. We advise gathering views from a broad multi-disciplinary group, asking people that you have worked with in other departments/areas. Include individuals who you have worked alongside in your rotations and try to include other colleagues, not just Clinical/Healthcare Scientists. We suggest aiming for 12 responses to provide a good all-round view of your strengths and challenges.
