Vanna Fadda

I lead operational activities to ensure training services are delivered in an effective and member-focused manner. 

I provide support and advice to educational stakeholders, resident doctors and locally employed doctors.   

I quality-control the annual enrolment of resident doctors.

I safeguard the effectiveness of electronic platforms to document training progress, which are maintained by external software providers. As the ePortfolio lead, I am currently managing the project to replace the platform in August 2027. 

I drive the development of training material relevant to the curriculum, the programme of assessment and the Annual Review of Competency Progression (ARCP) process. 

I evaluate recommendations for completion of training certification to quality-audited standards set by the UK regulator (General Medical Council).   

I manage the implementation of quality assurance and improvement frameworks to ensure that the programme of assessment provides robust evidence to inform training progression decisions.    

If you are someone who is prepared to learn about the bigger picture, is detail-orientated and meticulous, and takes ownership of tasks, this is the role for you.  

I was a civil service for a decade before joining the RCOphth in 2014.

Be yourself and relax. Interview are always daunting, but showing curiosity for the role will put you at an advantage.
