Periodic review
This specialty curriculum requires significant change beyond the scope of an annual review.
Response – no
Rationale
Please provide an overview of the rationale for why the proposed changes are needed or why changes were not needed, with reference to stakeholder feedback.
Response
Review of conditions wrt TA4 on rotational module: MS and dementia are rarely diagnosed by Neurophysiological investigations so therefore less likely for trainees to experience these patient pathways. Changed to conditions that are more likely to be seen to make the training activity more accessible.
Second change is a simple typo correction.
Reflective guidance is good. Just added a more simple word on a couple of occasions where the programme had taken the content rather too literally.
I confirm I have reviewed the Reflective Practice Guidance for ETAs and DTAs and have made any changes necessary.
