National Competency Frameworks

Various National Competency Frameworks were discussed in the focus groups.

In the focus groups it was identified that there is no coherency of approach regarding national competency frameworks.

Several competency frameworks seem to be available but there was no knowledge in the focus groups about how these were being implemented. This introduces a significant barrier to faculty development because it results in a lack of structure and inconsistency across organisations. During the focus groups, participants said they felt there were lots of recommendations and priorities coming out of different reports and they did not know which one to follow.
