The Doctors in Training (DiT) Induction elearning programme has been reviewed and updated by subject specialists ahead of the new academic year.

DiT is aimed at foundation doctors (F1 and F2) and focuses on professional skills in the workplace through 3 patient journey scenarios, along with an assessment to confirm compliance. Following feedback from practising clinical staff as well as doctors currently in training, sessions from the programme have been updated to improve the experience for learners. It addresses some identified gaps in knowledge for doctors prior to starting their next year on 1 August.

The online training is also suitable for returning doctors and doctors from overseas working in primary care, secondary care and community settings.

The 3 patient journey scenarios are based around areas that doctors in training have highlighted as those they find most challenging. They include:

• Blood transfusion and consent
• Safe prescribing and venous thromboembolism (VTE)
• Mental Capacity Act and death certification

The learning objectives for this programme have been specially written by experts.
