 Trainee Registrar in Medical Oncology – ARCP Outcome 3 – Drafted and submitted a Appeal of the Decision of ARCP Panel – Following successful Appeal received ARCP Outcome 2 - Now a consultant in Medical Oncology

 

'Receiving unfair outcome (outcome 3) after my ARCP was one of the darkest hours in my life. I felt helpless and in need of help. However, knowing that it was an unfair outcome, I decided to appeal.

I knew that I needed professional help to get the appeal right. Searching online, I found a few names but after deliberating, I chose Dr Rosanna Cooper of RT Coopers. I immediately felt that my intuition was right. The commitment, work-ethic and the professionalism that she embodied were instantaneously reassuring. She gave me adequate time to listen to my case and consider all its aspects before reaching the appropriate argument that nailed the case.

After submitting my appeal, my case was reviewed by the same panel that awarded the initial outcome. After reading the appeal, the panel changed the outcome to ARCP Outcome 2. The chair of the panel praised the written appeal arguments and he said, “that he agreed with a lot of its content”.  Rosanna is a professional, compassionate, and savvy solicitor and it was god who sent her to me. During your difficult times, I am sure she will help you too.' MM

 

ARCP -  GP

A number of issues may arise throughout your GP training. If you are doing GP training our ARCP solicitors will draft your review or appeal to ensure you satisfactorily progress to gain CCT. 

 

 

 GPST3 VTS trainee (‘trainee’) was awarded an ARCP Outcome 3 after appeal upheld.

The trainee having reached the end of training to become a GP was given ARCP Outcome 4 (‘Outcome 4’) by an ARCP Panel. Although the trainee had passed the Applied Knowledge Test , the Recorded Consultation Assessment was recorded as fail after 4 attempts. RT Coopers drafted the appeal for the trainee against ARCP Outcome 4 and represented the trainee at the ARCP Appeals hearing. The appeal to the ARCP Appeals Panel was upheld. The ARCP Appeals Panel reversed the decision and awarded the GP trainee ARCP Outcome 3.

 

ARCP Outcome 4 = removed from training

ARCP Outcome 3 = reinstated, and training extended.

 

RT Coopers drafted a detailed and robust appeal on grounds of mitigating circumstances and procedural irregularities. The uniqueness of this case is that the education supervisor report stated that the GP trainee met one out of 13 competencies (1/13). The GP trainee was rated as incompetent. We were able to demonstrate in the appeal that the GP trainee was competent and that the GP trainee had met a number of competencies, despite what was reported by the educational supervisor.  The GP trainee was allowed to progress following the hearing before the ARCP Appeals Panel as the appeal was upheld. 

 

‘I had an excellent experience with Dr Cooper. She is very intelligent and prepared my ARCP Appeal to the highest standard to ensure that my appeal would be upheld. Dr Cooper is very kind and supportive. She truly understands the importance of ARCP appeal to trainee doctors and the stress they are going through. She was very kind and reassuring when preparing my appeal. I rate Dr Cooper/ RT Coopers Firm 5 Star. Dr Cooper was very thorough in preparing my ARCP appeal. She initially prepared a draft of my ARCP appeal then went through it with me several times ensuring that all the points are covered. I am grateful to her as she spent so many hours making sure that I was happy with the process. I highly recommend Dr Cooper/ RT Coopers in ARCP matters. I highly rate Dr Cooper/ RT Coopers Firm 5 Star’. Nadim Rafiq
