Abstract
Objectives: This study demonstrates a national programme which has been accepted in Wales as a mandatory part of the induction process for the rotating ENT SHO cohort.
Methods: The ENT Induction Bootcamp was established based on the learning needs of ENT SHOs. Pre- and post-course assessment of the subjective and objective benefit of the 1-day course was captured.
Results: Between 2022 and 2024, 152 participants have attended the bootcamp; all of whom (100 per cent) found the course beneficial. The greatest improvements in participant confidence were observed in emergency tracheostomy management, flexible nasendoscopy and nasal examination (all p < 0.01). Based on objective assessment, participant knowledge improved from a mean of 68.5 per cent to 96.5 per cent.
Conclusion: This initiative highlights the value of a bootcamp approach to standardise junior doctors' abilities to manage ENT emergencies. This bootcamp is now a mandatory component for all SHO entering ENT attachments in Wales, in an easily adoptable format.
