Annual Assessment

Annual assessment of trainee progress will be via the RITA/ARCP review process, in accordance with the Faculty of Public Health guidance.

The RITA process ensures that trainees make satisfactory progress towards the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT).

RITA's take place in October or November each year and is a paper based exercise requiring trainees to submit detailed documentation about progress in the year and key objectives for the coming year.

Trainees are required to arrange a Pre-RITA meeting with the Programme Director to discuss various elements of their training.

The list below shows the typical paperwork required by the RITA panel prior to assessment:

1. Section A of the training portfolio;
2. Any recommendations for action arising from previous RITA assessment and progress on achievement of objectives of the last years assessment;
3. Details of examination progress;
4. A structured and up-to-date CV (max 3 pages) highlighting academic and service achievements and publications;
5. A record of courses/conferences attended and a record of study leave; and
6. A report from the lead service trainer and academic tutor.

There are a number of forms used in the RITA process (forms A-G) by the Deanery. Further information about the forms can be found on the Faculty of Public Health website.
