Video recording to teach and assess both technical and non-technical skills is well-established within medical education. Trainees’ clinical and practical competencies are evaluated using Procedure-Based Assessments (PBAs). However, there is limited research describing how these PBAs truly reflect trainee performance. We sought to: assess the duration between the procedure and PBA completion assess the perceived viability of supplementing assessments using intra-operative camera footage and clarify medico-legal considerations for the use of cameras in theatre. We undertook a survey of Orthopaedic trainees in the East of England Deanery, United Kingdom. A six-item questionnaire was designed and provided to trainees (paper and online) to assess the time between procedure and filling in PBA forms, level of consultant input, time to PBA sign-off and trainees’ views on current PBA methods, operative video recording and retrospective access to clinical footage.Introduction
