title: On-the-job assessment of practical skills performance: experiences from a feasibility study.
abstract: A pilot exercise throughout one deanery during a whole training year has shown that the on-the-job assessment of practical skills is both feasible and acceptable to the wider health-care team. There was, however, a lack of exposure by trainees to a small number of specific procedural skills.
