Is this you?
We wrote this for three kinds of professional. Most people reading this are at least one of them.
You're preparing a response to a concern and need to show genuine insight
Insight isn't the same as apologising. This course teaches the actual framework panels assess, not just good intentions.
You've been told your reflective account lacked insight
A common, frustrating piece of feedback. This course explains exactly what's missing when that happens, and how to fix it.
You want CPD that directly strengthens your appraisal portfolio
The insight framework taught here applies equally to routine appraisal reflection, not just formal proceedings.
What it covers, and why
Course description
A 1.5-hour course on the four-pillar insight framework the GMC and MPTS actually assess, the single factor case examiners and panels weigh most heavily.
Why it's relevant
Insight is consistently the single factor GMC case examiners and MPTS panels weigh most heavily, more than the severity of the original incident itself in many cases. A genuine, demonstrated understanding of what went wrong changes how a case is assessed far more than most professionals realise.
How it improves your practice
You'll finish able to apply the four-pillar insight framework directly to your own situation, distinguish genuine insight from apology alone, and write a reflective account structured the way examiners and panels are actually trained to assess.
What it covers
- Apply the four-pillar framework the MPTS uses in every case
- Write a reflective account that holds up in a GMC hearing or at appraisal
- Avoid the six reflection failures that undermine even well-intentioned accounts
