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
No feedback had been received about the curriculum at the start of the review. We reopened for feedback and circulated the link via the professional body membership (BriSCEV), no comments have been received to date. Therefore, there is no evidecne from stakeholder feedback that any changes are required.
I have reviewed the curriculum again as Lead Editor (and an active Training Officer on the programme) and in my professional opinion no changes are needed at this time therefore no proposed changes have been submitted.
I confirm I have reviewed the Reflective Practice Guidance for ETAs and DTAs and have made any changes necessary.
