RCPsych: How to add Trainees to a Panel

There are several ways to do this. The first way is to go to the date of the Panel, View the Panel meeting and click Panel subject and add the resident doctor you wish to add. You can then also select why you are doing an ARCP on this resident doctor, (annual, OC5, Gateway etc). Please see the help article here for more details on setting up Panels.

Another way to add a trainee to a Panel is when you are doing their ARCP, the last question is ‘date of their next ARCP’. This will give you a dropdown of all the upcoming ARCPs and you can add them at this point. They will automatically be placed in that upcoming ARCP.

Another way is through Panel Report which is underneath Panel meetings on the left menu. This will give you a filterable list of resident doctors which you can 'allocate' or 'move dates' if required. One helpful filter is Trainees with no panel date in the next two months and last ESR with ARCP requested. This will bring you up a list of resident doctors that are not due an ARCP but who have had Unsatisfactory or Panel Opinion Requested in their last ESR. These trainees can then be allocated a Panel sooner if required.
