Draft 2020/21 Training Schedule
Published: December 2019
Dear colleague,
We are pleased to announce this draft training schedule of planned dates only for our 2020/21 training events. This draft has been published to allow you to provisionally book potential dates in your diaries.
Please note that the final training schedule confirming venues and prices will be published on Delen at the end of January 2020 and the dates outlined below may be subject to change depending on logistical considerations.
Important information
- Due to a very low number of expressions of interest on our Early Notification List (only eight), we currently have no plans to hold a Clinical Coding Trainer Programme (CCTP) Assessment Day in 2020/21. However, should demand increase to 12 or more expressions of interest between now and mid-January, we will reconsider this decision. The consequent time released will allow us to concentrate on revamping the new modular Clinical Coding Audit Workshop ready for April 2021 and on ICD-11 evaluation.
- Candidates wishing to apply for the 2020/21 Clinical Coding Auditor Programme (CCAP) are advised to review Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the 2019/20 Clinical Coding Auditor Programme Handbook until the new version of the handbook and application documents are available at the end of January. Please note that no applications will be accepted until the final training schedule is published and anyone on our Early Notification List will be advised of dates at least one week before publication.
- We’ve received feedback that key points about the underlying principles of classifications need to be strengthened in our training materials. The Terminology and Classifications Delivery Service and Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) propose to work collaboratively to develop a new pre-Clinical Coding Standards Course (CCSC) classroom module entitled ‘Introduction to Classifications’. Subject to completion of this work dates for this training will be published on the final training schedule at the end of January 2020. All approved clinical coding trainers are required to attend this one-day training event which will replace the usual mandatory Trainer Forum for one year only. Attendance will be free of charge and all attendees will be given access to the materials to deliver to CCSC delegates from 1 April 2021 and to experienced coders where considered to be beneficial in the interim. These materials will be built into the national training materials costs to commercial trainers from 2020/21.
- Review of our training records confirms that only two Trainer Refresher Courses are needed in 2020/21 with six trainers requiring Re-Certification assessment; several trainers are however overdue their Re-Certification assessment. If you’re unsure whether your Trainer Refresher Course and or Re-Certification assessment is due/overdue, please email information.standards@nhs.net
Kind regards
