Transfer of information from medical schools.
Identifying and highlighting 'at-risk' preregistration house officers (PRHOs) has the potential of focussing support and training in a manner that improves the likelihood of successful completion of the PRHO year. The Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College Medical School has piloted and implemented a simple form which has been used to identify at-risk PRHOs. The authors' experience indicates that this mechanism has the potential to provide a robust means of communication between medical schools and trusts employing PRHOs and thereby allow intervention at an earlier stage, in order to improve the performance of an at-risk PRHO.
