Your employer will be supplying information to us in relation to any incidents trainees have been involved within (categories below) by completing an exception report for us and should provide the trainee with a copy. In the case of GP Trainees, where they have undertaken a placement in general practice and been registered on the PCT Medical Performers List, the PCT will also be required to supply information to us.
This information on the Exception Reports submitted will be provided, under three headings:-
Conduct/capability investigation
The employer will be asked to confirm whether you have been involved in a conduct or capability investigation and to provide a brief summary (the Exception report). If so, has this been resolved satisfactorily with no unresolved concerns about your conduct. If there are unresolved concerns, they will be asked to give a brief summary (the Exception report) and the anticipated date of the outcome of any investigation.
Serious Untoward Incident/Significant Event investigation
If you have been involved in a Serious Untoward Incident (see GMC definition Q8), whether investigated or not, you should have discussed it with your educational supervisor and reflected on the outcome in your portfolio as part of the normal education appraisal process.
You only need to record this information on your form R if any formal investigations have not been completed and resolved, or if they have not been included in your portfolio. The employer will be asked if you have been involved in a formal Serious Untoward Incident/Significant Event Investigation and to provide a brief summary (the Exception report). If so, has this been resolved satisfactorily with no unresolved concerns about your fitness to practice. If there are unresolved concerns, they will be asked to give a brief summary and the anticipated date of the outcome of any investigation

If so, has this been resolved satisfactorily with no unresolved concerns about your fitness to practice?
