Feedback tool assessed junior doctors reliably

The Sheffield peer review assessment tool (SPRAT), a multisource feedback questionnaire, is a feasible and reliable tool for assessing performance of paediatric senior house officers and specialist registrars. Archer and colleagues (p 1251) used SPRAT to record peers' opinions of 112 paediatricians in training and used the results to assess participants' clinical performance. SPRAT seems to be a feasible way of assessing behaviours that are traditionally difficult to capture, say the authors.
