Abstract

Introduction: The growing utilisation of international medical graduate (IMG) doctors in the UK has uncovered a need for hospitals to establish induction programmes that harness supportive environments for these doctors to learn within the specific context of the NHS. Currently, IMGs are under-supported at local and national levels.

Method: The educational team within Withybush Hospital have designed and delivered a robust IMG induction programme. The aim was to improve IMG doctors' clinical confidence within this specific setting. Feedback generated from the induction was provided to educational supervisors (ES) on their tutees. This induction was evaluated by questionnaires for IMGs following the induction activities, and annually for educational supervisors to assess their views.

Outcome: Feedback was overwhelmingly positive with reported increased confidence post sessions. 100% of educational supervisors found the feedback provided to them very useful, allowing them to identify areas that the doctor needed support in, and aiding in the collaborative creation of development plans.

Conclusion: NHS hospital-specific induction programmes for IMG doctors help to improve their clinical confidence and support their integration into their new role and environment. Additionally, educational supervisors value early, highly specific feedback generated from induction activities on the doctors they are supervising.

整合国际医学毕业生。

导读：英国越来越多的国际医学毕业生（IMG）医生发现，医院需要建立入门课程，利用有利的环境，让这些医生在NHS的特定背景下学习。目前，IMGs在地方和国家一级的支助不足。方法：Withybush医院的教育团队设计并实施了一个强大的IMG入门课程。目的是提高IMG医生在这种特殊情况下的临床信心。从入门中产生的反馈提供给他们的教学主管（ES）。在入职活动结束后，对img进行问卷调查，并每年由教育主管评估他们的意见。结果：反馈非常积极，据报道，会议后信心增加。100%的教育主管发现提供给他们的反馈非常有用，使他们能够确定医生需要支持的领域，并有助于合作制定发展计划。结论：针对IMG医生的NHS医院特异性诱导方案有助于提高他们的临床信心，并支持他们融入新的角色和环境。此外，教育主管重视从他们所监督的医生的入门活动中产生的早期、高度具体的反馈。
