Twenty nine (70.7%) trainees had received training in the assessment tools used; 39 (95.1%) experienced difficulties completing WBAs, worse for CBD, Mini-CEX and DOPS respectively. Difficulties most commonly encountered were assessor availability, lack of time and computer access. A total of 25 (60.9%), 23 (56.1%) and 16 (39%) trainees felt that DOPs, Mini-CEXs and CBDs respectively were useless or very useless with regard to their professional development. Quality of feedback was described as good or very good by 9 (22.0%) trainees for DOPS, 15 (36.6%) for Mini-CEX and 17 (41.5%) for CBD. The most common choice of assessor was specialty registrars (SpR/ST3+) for DOPS (22, 53.7%) and Mini-CEX (26, 63.4%) and consultants for CBD (26, 61%). Assessors were chosen most commonly for accessibility and approachability.
